Fluid Milk

The Wisconsin school district's Food & Nutrition department has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 4010 seeking fluid milk delivery and milk storage services. This procurement is specifically targeting vendors capable of supplying fluid milk products and related storage infrastructure to support the district's food service operations. The RFP establishes comprehensive requirements for milk delivery schedules, storage capacity, and product quality standards that potential bidders must meet. Evaluation criteria will focus on price competitiveness, delivery reliability, product quality, and ability to meet specified storage requirements. The solicitation was posted on April 2, 2018, with proposals due by April 30, 2018, providing interested parties approximately four weeks to prepare and submit their comprehensive proposals. The contract will be awarded to the most responsive and responsible bidder whose proposal best aligns with the district's operational needs and specifications. Bidders must carefully review the detailed specifications in the RFP document and ensure their proposals address all technical and logistical requirements for fluid milk delivery and storage.

While the RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations, potential vendors should carefully review all qualification requirements. The document does not indicate the presence of incumbent vendors or provide specific details about existing milk storage infrastructure that might require integration. Although a precise award value is not specified in the available documentation, the procurement appears to be focused on establishing a contract for ongoing milk delivery services for a school district's food nutrition program. The scope suggests the potential for a multi-year contract with possible renewal options, depending on the district's operational and budgetary considerations. Interested vendors should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to consistently meet the district's fluid milk product specifications, delivery schedules, and quality standards. Prospective bidders will likely need to provide detailed pricing structures, product information, delivery logistics, and evidence of their ability to reliably supply fluid milk products to meet the district's nutritional service requirements.
