GR042 Market Basket File Amended 12232024.xlsx

This is a market basket pricing spreadsheet for Category 1 of the GRO42 K-12 School Nutrition Products contract issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Operational Services Division. The spreadsheet contains three tabs for bidders to provide pricing: Category 1A Market Basket Items, Category 1B Non-Market Basket Items, and Precut-Processed Items. The market basket lists include detailed specifications for fresh produce items including fruits, vegetables, and herbs, with many items having both standard and split-case quantity options. Several items are specifically designated as New England (NE) grown products.

The pricing structure requires bidders to provide pack sizes, brand/manufacturer information, percentage markup, manufacturer's invoice cost, and unit pricing for both organic and non-organic options. Bidders must complete all orange-highlighted fields, which turn white once filled. No substitutions are allowed for Market Basket items, though private label items may be left blank if unavailable to the bidder. The Buy American Provision applies to product origins, and bidders must indicate whether products are domestic or imported.
