Shipping/Delivery/Returns Delivery: All deliveries are FOB and no additional delivery charges are allowed. All orders will be processed, confirmed and delivered based on established delivery schedules. The ordering location will define delivery requirements and will establish a mutually agreed upon delivery schedule with Contractors. The Contractor(s) must make delivery of items as requested by the ordering facility. The Contractor(s) must call the facility to schedule a delivery. Any change in the specified delivery schedule requires approval by the ordering facility. The ordering location will determine delivery time and date. Locations may establish weekly, semi-weekly, or daily scheduled deliveries. Locations may also schedule individual deliveries when placing the order. Any items not delivered on schedule may be canceled at no cost to the Commonwealth. If the ordering facility must purchase non-delivered items from another source, the contractor must cover any additional costs incurred by the facility for these items.

The Contractor must place grocery products in the delivery location coolers, if applicable, immediately upon delivery.

Any spoilage due to non-compliance with this requirement will be returned at the Contractor’s expense. Delivery staff must rotate products in the delivery location’s freezer upon making a new delivery. Departments are not required to accept any product that is visibly damaged, dented, squeezed or torn. The contractor must replace any item received in unacceptable condition at no cost to the ordering facility.

Delivery Requirement for the Department of Correction – The Contractor(s) must meet all Department of Correction security requirements applicable to each facility. Requirements may include but are not limited to: inspection and search of all delivery vehicles including driver; cab and all contents thereof; locking gas or fuel caps, all drivers must pass a CORI background check no split load deliveries where required; strict delivery time requirements and any other security requirements as deemed necessary by the department or institution. Contractors may be asked to deliver products outside the established delivery schedule to respond to emergency situation.

“Will call” - orders are orders that are to be picked up by the contract user within 24 hours of request and the Contractor(s) will provide for “will call” orders if immediate delivery is necessary and the contract user is willing to pick up the order. The Contractor(s) may be asked to provide emergency delivery at no cost to the Commonwealth.

Order Fill Rates: The contractor must provide each contract user with a minimum 99% fill rate per month. The fill rates for Food and Nonfood items will be calculated separately. The fill rate for Food items will be calculated for each contract user by dividing the number of line items delivered on time by the number of line items scheduled for delivery during that month and multiplying the results by 100. Item substitutions that are accepted by the contract user will contribute towards a higher fill rate but item substitutions that are not accepted by the contract user will reduce the fill rate. If this rate is less than 99%, the contract user will notify the contractor within 15 days after the first day of the following month, that they are invoking the “fill rate credit”. The fill rate for Nonfood items will be calculated for each contract user by dividing the number of line items delivered on time by the number of line items scheduled for delivery during that month and multiplying the results by 100. Back orders will be used in the above calculations if a delivery date was established. If back orders are delivered on time, they will contribute towards a higher fill rate but if back orders are late, they will reduce the fill rate. If a delivery date is not given for a back order, it will be counted against the fill rate. If this rate is less than 99%, the contract user will notify the contractor within 15 days after the first day of the following month, that they are invoking the “fill rate credit”. Failure to meet the stated fill rate will result in a 0.5% credit on the total volume of orders placed in the applicable month by the contract user that is invoking the “fill rate credit”. The contractor will issue that contract user a credit on an invoice for the following month in the amount of the imposed fee. The contractor may appeal to the contract user with documentation

The contract user may make an adjustment to the number of line items ordered and recalculate the percent fill rate in the following situations: 1) contractor is unable to obtain the items from its supplier; 2) multiple orders of the same line item in a three-day period for that contract user; or 3) The contract user may appeal the contract user decision to the SST, whose decision will be final.
