Avcf - chips & shells documented quote # 17AV010

The Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Aging and Adult Care, Facilities (AVCF) issued Documented Quote #17AV010 on August 1, 2016, seeking competitive quotations for food procurement items intended for delivery to the AVCF Warehouse located at 12750 Highway 96, Lane 13, Ordway, Colorado 81034. The procurement encompasses two distinct food items: 50 cases of tostada shells (corn, 5.5"-6" size, bulk pack containing 160-200 shells per case) and 70 cases of tortilla chips (plain, unsalted, round, 6-2# bulk packages per case, totaling 12# per case). Vendors were required to submit complete quotations including all associated costs such as freight and fuel surcharges within the unit pricing, with acceptable brands specified as Pancho Villa, Casa Soloano, Mission, or equal alternatives. The deadline for submission was August 4, 2016, at 10:00 AM via fax to Purchasing Agent Earl Aragon at 719-267-5026, with copies directed to Cornelio Mendoza. Anticipated delivery was scheduled for on or before August 26, 2016, with shipment on a FOB Destination, prepaid basis. Vendor quotations required specification of brand and packaging details, along with complete company information including FEIN number, payment terms, and authorized signatures.

The procurement documents do not indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to disadvantaged enterprises or particular vendor classifications, suggesting this was an open competitive quotation process available to qualified vendors meeting the specified product requirements. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure integration requirements were identified in the solicitation materials. The contract award value or budget range was not disclosed in the available documentation, though the scope of procurement—50 cases of shells and 70 cases of chips—provides a basis for vendors to calculate pricing accordingly. This documented quote process represents a standard procurement methodology for food service commodities at the state facility level, with emphasis on timely delivery and product specification compliance.
