About this file
This document is Addendum I for Invitation to Bid No. ITB FNW 25 26 05, issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) for the receipt, handling, storage, and optional distribution of USDA Foods for the National School Lunch Program in Service Area 1, Region 1. The addendum addresses a vendor question regarding two seemingly similar Invitations to Bid (ITB FNW 25 26 05 and ITB FNW 25 26 04), clarifying that federal regulations require separate contracts with specific provisions for storage and distribution. The document advises that interested bidders wanting to bid on both storage and distribution should respond to ITB 25 26 05, while those interested only in storage should also respond to the same ITB.
The addendum provides procedural guidance for bidders, including contact information for the Purchasing Office at (850) 617-7181 and Bids@FDACS.gov. It also outlines protest procedures under Florida Statutes, specifying that failure to file a protest within the prescribed time or post required bonds constitutes a waiver of proceedings. The document emphasizes that all other terms, conditions, and specifications of the original Invitation to Bid remain unchanged, and protests must be filed with the Department's Agency Clerk at the Holland Building in Tallahassee, Florida.

ADDENDUM I
DATE: June 12, 2025
TO: VENDORS
FROM: Britne’ Hill, Procurement Officer
RE: Invitation to Bid No. ITB FNW 25 26 05, RECEIPT, HANDLING, STORAGE AND
OPTIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF USDA FOODS FOR THE NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH
PROGRAM – SERVICE AREA 1, REGION 1
This addendum is to provide answers to questions received in reference to this Invitation to Bid.
Question / Answer
1. ITB FNW 25 26 05 & ITB FNW 25 26 04, both have the same bid specifics details. Is one supposed to be a different region or have different volumes?
Federal regulations, 7 CFR 250.12(f) require each storage and/or distribution contract to include specific provisions. That is why storage information is included on the distribution ITB and distribution information is included on the storage ITB.
An interested bidder that wants to bid on both storage and distribution of USDA Foods for Service Area 1, Region 1 should respond only to ITB 25 26 05.
An interested bidder that only wants to bid on the storage of USDA Foods for Service Area 1, Region 1 should only respond to ITB 25 26 05.
This Addendum is hereby incorporated into and made a part of the above noted Invitation to Bid.
All other terms, conditions, and specifications of this Invitation to Bid will remain the same. For questions regarding this Addendum, please contact the Purchasing Office at (850) 617-7181 or email at Bids@FDACS.gov.
Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Section 120.57(3), Florida Statutes, or failure to post the bond or other security required by law within the time allowed for filing a bond shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. Protests must be filed with the Department’s Agency Clerk. Filings may be made physically at:
Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services The Holland Building mailto:Bids@FDACS.gov
600 South Calhoun Street Tallahassee, Florida 32399
