CRT Bid# NutritionDairy2024

The Community Renewal Team (CRT) in Hartford, Connecticut has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking milk and dairy product vendors for their food production facility located at 555 Windsor Street. The solicitation, identified as Bid #NutritionDairy2024 with solicitation number 888, is open to all vendors and will accept proposals from November 16, 2023, through December 8, 2023, with a submission deadline of 9:00:00 AM EST. The procurement is specifically for dairy products to be delivered on a free on board (FOB) destination basis, though the specific line items, quantities, and detailed product specifications are not explicitly defined in the available documentation. Vendors are required to submit proposals with vendor-specified payment terms, and all questions or inquiries should be directed to Jeanette Dunbar at dunbarj@crtct.org or by phone at 860-560-5161. The RFP does not outline specific evaluation criteria or required vendor qualifications beyond the ability to supply milk and dairy products to the CRT food production facility.

The RFP provides no information regarding set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or preferences for minority-owned businesses. There are no details provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor are there any specifications about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The solicitation documents do not disclose an estimated total contract value or budget range for the dairy product procurement. Vendors will be responsible for defining their own pricing structure and payment terms. The lack of specificity in the RFP suggests that interested vendors may need to contact Jeanette Dunbar directly for more comprehensive information about the procurement requirements, expected product specifications, and potential contract duration.
