The scope is 360 cases of fresh eggs (30-dozen or 15-dozen configurations per case) for delivery the week of June 22–26, distributed across the five facilities. Bidders must meet detailed egg-grade, size, and packaging specifications established in Exhibit A. Pricing must be quoted per case on an all-inclusive basis, with delivery on FOB destination terms (freight prepaid). Bidders may specify either 30-dozen or 15-dozen case packs; unit pricing must include all delivery fees.

The initial Purchase Order term covers ordered quantities for delivery on specified weeks following award; pricing must remain firm during the initial term.

Contractor personnel must complete enhanced criminal background investigations, fingerprinting, and drug testing within 30 days of award notification or risk Purchase Order termination. Vendors must provide proof of Good Standing with the Colorado Secretary of State and an insurance certificate (commercial general liability minimum $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate, and workers' compensation as required by Colorado law) prior to Purchase Order execution.
