About this file
This document is a Questions & Answers (Q&A) document for Request for Proposal (RFP) S-DASOBO-00013701 for USDA Child Nutrition Program (CNP) Food Distribution Agreements. The document addresses five questions from potential bidders regarding the proposal, with questions submitted before October 21, 2025 at 12:00 pm. Key clarifications include: the spreadsheet for proposals has been updated to allow up to 50 line items per tab (previously limited to 20), certain documentation like Nutrition Fact Labels and CN Labels do not count toward the 20-page proposal limit, and eggs were not included in this RFP due to low demand.
The RFP appears to be for food distribution agreements, with vendors able to propose items from pre-defined drop-down lists on spreadsheet tabs. Notably, the owner has intentionally limited the proposal options compared to previous solicitations. Samples and product testing are not mandatory for proposing, though requesting agencies retain the option to request samples from awarded vendors before issuing a purchase order. The document references Addendum #1, which provides updated language and spreadsheet configurations to accommodate bidder needs and clarify proposal requirements.

USDA Child Nutrition Program Food Distribution Agreements
Question #1:
Reviewing the spreadsheet, it was noticed that on the cheese tab, there is no option for Mac and Cheese in the drop-down list. Should there be an option or should it be addressed in another way?
Answer:
The Owner has included all options for proposal in the drop-down lists on each tab. There may be some that are not included in this RFP that has been included in the past, this was done by design. Please propose on only what is included in the drop-down lists.
Question #2:
We have more than 20 items to bid, the spreadsheet only allows for 20 items and won’t let me add more.
Is there a way to get a version with more lines?
Answer:
Please see Addendum #1 with an updated version that allows for up to 50 line items per tab.

I am not seeing USDA Bulk Eggs #100047 on this. Will there be a separate one?
