Addendum 1
Issued 6/10/2024
1. The bid due date has been extended until June 21, 2024 at 3:00 PM. The opening will occur at 4:00 on the same day.
Q: Can we have a little clarification on this trigger in regard to Chopped Romaine ? Does the trigger below refer to 24CT romaine listed on the USDA FOB sheet ? There is not a trigger for processed romaine on the USDA website
A: As listed on the Price Quote tab in the Price Quote Workbook, there is no ability to adjust the bid price for “Lettuce, Romaine, Chopped 1"x1", 6x2lbs, Vac. Pack - Must be East Coast Cut”. The bid price must account for potential volatility in the market. The USDA FOB reporting for 24ct romaine does not apply to the chopped romaine specification. Processed items that may include using lower grade produce, varying yields, additional labor, packaging, overhead, storage and distribution are not necessarily accurately reflected on USDA reporting. All potential bidders should consider potential price volatility for such items.
