This is a bid sample label and submission instruction document issued by the Pinellas County School District in Florida for Ice Cream Products (Bid No. 26-JG-019). The district is soliciting sealed electronic bids for ice cream products with responses due by 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, via the District's e-Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/PCSB. Bidders must submit physical samples on or before the same deadline to Julie Kalach, Food Distribution Specialist, at the Walter Pownall Service Center, Food & Nutrition Department, located at 11111 S. Belcher Rd, Largo, FL 33773. The district has partnered with OpenGov Procurement to manage the bidding process and recommends that suppliers register on the platform to receive automatic notifications of bid solicitations and addenda. Bidders obtaining solicitation documents from sources other than the official OpenGov portal risk missing critical addendums and subsequent notifications.

Submission of physical samples is mandatory for participation in this bid, and the label provided serves as the required documentation to accompany sample submissions. Bidders must affix the completed label to all sample containers and include their company name and, if applicable, the names of any distributors on whose behalf samples are being submitted. The district reserves the right to consider prices established by the State of Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Purchasing through its contracts and negotiated agreements when evaluating bids.
