IFB_0000032837_Question__Answer_Set.docx

This is a Question and Answer (Q&A) document from the California Department of General Services, Procurement Division regarding IFB #0000032837 for Paper Grocery Bags. The document addresses four key questions from potential bidders concerning order quantities, delivery timelines, and locations. Per the responses, delivery of ordered products must be completed within 30 calendar days after receipt of order (ARO), unless otherwise agreed upon by the ordering agency. The contract opportunity involves both standard and custom-printed paper grocery bags, with deliveries to be made statewide to specified locations including inside buildings, high-rise office buildings, and receiving docks.

The Q&A clarifies that the quantities listed in the pricing worksheet have been updated to reflect individual bags rather than hundreds of bags. Regarding custom-printed bags, which have a 2-4 week production lead time, the state indicates that while estimated usage numbers by weight are provided in the pricing worksheet, there is no guarantee of order frequency or quantity, and order sizes for single delivery locations may vary.
