About this file
This is a Shipping Instructions document for the State of Iowa's food items procurement for the CDC Warehouse located in Woodward, Iowa. The document establishes mandatory shipping and delivery requirements that bidders must satisfy to be deemed responsible and eligible for award. All freight charges and fuel costs must be included in the bid price, with delivery required to the warehouse. Products must be shipped on pallets and shrink-wrapped in insulated, clean trailers. Canned products cannot be received frozen, and any product received more than 30 days after purchase order issuance is considered late and subject to rejection or reallocation to the next lowest bidder. Bidders may be required to submit samples for testing and must provide proof of pack date and pack origin upon request, with pack date codes accompanied by a corresponding key.
Bidders are responsible for ensuring all products meet USDA grade standards for both product and container condition, and all items must be labeled accordingly. Shipments containing damaged products or damaged packages will be refused in their entirety, with the bidder responsible for pickup and replacement costs incurred by the CDC Warehouse. The agency will consider favorably products packed in the USA. Bidders must ship exactly what was indicated in their submitted bids and cannot deviate from their specifications. Freight not meeting agency specifications or containing damaged goods will be rejected, and bidders bear full responsibility for all associated pickup, replacement, and warehouse costs.
