About this file
This document contains questions and answers related to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Egg Cartons issued by the Arkansas Division of Corrections. The IFB covers the supply of 30-dozen and 15-dozen egg cartons with specific construction requirements, including flute size and cardboard strength. The agencies and jurisdictions involved are the Arkansas Division of Corrections, Pulaski County, and the City of Little Rock. The key details include clarification on the board strength requirement, the denesting capabilities of the egg carton flats, and the possibility of accepting cartons without the required branding for the first order. The agency prefers only printed stock to be released by their facility.
The pricing terms, set asides, incumbents, funding requirements, and other salient information are not explicitly stated in the document. However, it is clear that the agency is seeking to procure egg cartons that meet specific construction and denesting requirements to support its operations.
