1000, caaa, avcf, chips & shells, 16AV006

The Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Early Care and Learning (AVCF) issued a quote request (16AV006) on July 20, 2015, for food products to support its operations. The procurement sought quotations for two specific items: 30 cases of tostada shells (corn, 5.5"-6" size, bulk pack of 160-200 per case) from brands such as Pancho Villa or Casa Solano, and 60 cases of plain, unsalted tortilla chips (round, 6 two-pound bulk packages per case) from Mission Brand or equivalent. Vendors were required to submit sealed quotations via fax no later than July 23, 2015 at 10:00 AM, with anticipated delivery scheduled for on or before August 7, 2015. All products were to be shipped FOB Destination, prepaid, to the AVCF Warehouse located at 12750 Highway 96, Lane 13 in Ordway, Colorado 81034. Vendors were required to include all charges, including freight and fuel surcharges, in the unit cost and provide complete company information, including name, address, telephone, fax, email, FEIN number, preferred shipping date, and payment terms. Purchasing agent Nick Baca handled the quote request and was available for submission and clarification purposes.

The document does not specify any set-aside designations, restrictions on vendor types, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or incumbent vendor information. No evaluation criteria beyond brand and packaging specifications were explicitly detailed in the quote request. The procurement does not identify a specific budget range or award value; pricing was to be determined through competitive quotations submitted by interested vendors. This appears to be a straightforward food commodity procurement with no apparent geographic, organizational, or socioeconomic restrictions on eligible vendors, allowing any qualified food supplier to submit a quotation.
