Fresh Eggs - Request for Quote

The Colorado Department of Corrections is requesting quotes for fresh eggs to supply correctional facility kitchens across five locations (Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility in Crowley, Buena Vista Correctional Complex, Central Warehouse in Canon City, Denver Women's Correctional Facility, and Sterling Correctional Facility), with quotes due July 23, 2026 at 1:00 PM Mountain Standard Time and award anticipated the same day.

Eggs must be USDA Grade A certified, brown or white, medium or large size, packed in 15 or 30 dozen cases, stamped and dated no more than 17 days prior to delivery, and maintained at temperatures not exceeding 45 degrees Fahrenheit. The initial delivery week is July 27–31, 2026, totaling 390 thirty-dozen cases distributed across the five facilities (AVCF 30 cases, BVCC 30 cases, CCCW 180 cases, DWCF 30 cases, SCF 120 cases). The awarded brand becomes mandatory with no substitutions permitted. Bidders must provide three calendar days' written notice if unable to meet delivery schedules; three separate delivery failures may result in vendor disqualification from future CDOC solicitations for three years or indefinitely.

Pricing must be all-inclusive with no additional shipping charges, surcharges, or taxes payable by CDOC and must remain firm during the Purchase Order term.
