Equipment specifications included Sammic Immersion Blender & Whisk Combo (MB-31) and Sammic Combi Vegetable Prep Cutter (CK-38V) models. Pricing was quoted FOB inside delivery to Seminole County, Florida. The evaluation committee, comprised of Jamie DeVivo, David Hawk, and Victoria Gonzalez, recommended the award based on the bid tabulation sheet, which revealed detailed per-unit pricing from all respondents. The School Board reserved the right to make multiple awards and emphasized that listed quantities represent anticipated needs without guaranteeing specific purchase volumes.
