About this file
This is a Shipping Instructions document for the State of Iowa's food items procurement for the CDC Warehouse in Woodward, Iowa. The document establishes mandatory shipping and delivery requirements that successful bidders must satisfy to be deemed responsible. All products must be delivered to the warehouse with freight charges and fuel costs included in the bid price. Bidders must ship products on pallets that are shrink-wrapped, using insulated and clean trailers. Products must be labeled with pack date codes accompanied by a key upon request, and bidders may be required to submit samples for testing. The State of Iowa reserves the right to refuse freight that does not meet agency specifications, contains damaged products, or arrives past 30 days from purchase order receipt, with late deliveries being awarded to the next lowest bidder or re-solicited.
Bidders are responsible for ensuring all products and containers meet USDA grade standards and must provide proof of pack date and pack origin if requested. Canned products cannot be received frozen, and preference will be given to domestically-packed products. If damaged packages are discovered during delivery, they may be set aside for credit issuance, or the entire load may be refused at the bidder's expense for pickup and replacement. Bidders are also responsible for any costs incurred by the CDC Warehouse resulting from non-compliant shipments. All bid prices must be inclusive of delivery costs, and bidders must ship only the products specified in their submitted bids.
