GR042 Market Basket File.xlsx

This is a market basket pricing spreadsheet for GRO42 K-12 School Nutrition Products Category 1 from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Operational Services Division. The spreadsheet contains detailed product listings for fresh produce items organized into three main sections: primary list (73 items including various fruits and vegetables), secondary list (25 items of specialty produce), and pre-cut processed list (58 items of prepared fruits and vegetables). Many items include both standard and split-quantity options, with specific requirements for New England-grown products noted.

The pricing structure requires bidders to provide unit costs for both organic and non-organic options, manufacturer's invoice costs, proposed markup percentages, and pack sizes. Bidders must indicate the brand and manufacturer they will supply for each item, with no substitutions allowed on Market Basket items. Special attention is given to environmentally preferable products (EPP), with requirements to specify total recycled content percentages, post-consumer recycled content, and environmental certifications. The spreadsheet follows Buy American Provision requirements, requiring indication of domestic or imported origin for products.
