QUESTIONS & ANSWERS FOR BID
Department of Central Management Services Rebid JPMC Convenience Food Z1
21-416CMS-BOSS4-B-19938
The following questions were asked by vendor and this Question & Answer was created to address those questions.
Question 1: We want to make absolutely certain that the BEP companies are certified to sell us the products they are quoting to us. How do we cross check the NIGP codes a BEP vendor is certified for?
Answer: By inquiring on the BEP Diversity Compliance website. As this will allow you to search for vendors that are certified in specific NIGP codes.

The website for BEP Diversity Compliance is https://cms.diversitycompliance.com/
Question 2: Where is a master NIGP list – so we can check their certifications against that list?
Answer: You can verify the BEP Diversity Compliance website against their certification letter to ensure its accuracy. The website for BEP Diversity Compliance is https://cms.diversitycompliance.com/
Question 3: Regarding the contact register, we need more space than available on the document. May we submit an Excel Spread sheet with the information?
Answer: Regarding the Good Faith Effort contact register, you can make multiple copies of the good faith effort contact sheet to fulfil this section. This will avoid any confusion or questions.
