CRT RFP Market Basket Pricing Grid 2026 2027 Part II REQUIRED.xlsx

This is a Market Basket Pricing Grid for a Request for Proposals issued by CRT (Community Renewal Team), a Connecticut-based food production facility located at 555 Windsor Street, Hartford, for the Spring 2026-2027 contract period. The RFP solicits bids for a comprehensive array of nutritional food products organized into six categories: meats and meat alternates, crackers and snacks, bakery and breakfast items, dairy products, vegetables and fruits, and additional specialty items. Specific products requested include fully cooked meatballs, beef patties, fish products, chicken items, turkey breast, veggie burgers, whole grain crackers, muffins, bagels, cereals, yogurt, cheese sticks, shelf-stable vegetable blends, pizzas, and nut butters. All meat products must include CN labels or Product Formulation Statements (PFS) to verify meat content per serving, and grain products must comply with CACFP requirements specifying that the first three grains be whole grain or enriched. All preschool items must be nut-free and peanut-free. Vendors must submit the pricing grid electronically in Excel format as an attachment to their bid response.

Bidders are required to complete all columns in the pricing grid without exception; failure to do so will result in vendor disqualification for that item. Vendors must provide detailed information including brand names, vendor product codes, manufacturer product codes, product descriptions, case weights or counts, and pricing for each line item. All products must include supporting CN labels or Product Formulation Statements attached to the bid submission. The RFP indicates that CRT does not participate in the Commodity Food Program, and pricing terms are to be established through the competitive bidding process. No incumbent vendor information, set-asides, funding sources, or contract term details are specified in this pricing grid document.
