About this file
This document is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by Norfolk Public Schools (NPS) in Virginia to solicit sealed bids for the provision of Assorted Dairy products, including refrigerated and shelf-stable items, for the 2024-25 school year. The IFB outlines the estimated annual quantities for various dairy items such as cheese, milk, eggs, and yogurt, and specifies the required product specifications, crediting requirements, and shelf-life. Awarded vendors will receive a blanket purchase order and are expected to make deliveries to the NPS warehouse in Norfolk, VA, with a preference for direct shipments from manufacturers. The IFB also notes that commodity processing and compliance with the Buy American Act are required.
The pricing terms indicate that bidders meeting the requirements must list both the commercial price and the current Virginia Fee for Service (FFS), as the commodity pricing and rebates will be used for cost comparison and consideration for future commodity diversion. The IFB does not mention any set-asides or incumbents, but it does specify that the contract will be awarded by line item.
