No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is listed in the solicitation documents. The procurement does not specify a total award value or budget range; pricing will be determined based on the competitive bids received for the 120 cases of eggs. Non-delivery on three separate occasions within the agreed timeframe may result in vendor disqualification from all future CDOC solicitations for three years or indefinitely.
