HSD FY25-04, Meat and Cheese Bid

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Hampshire Sheriff's Office, is seeking bids from qualified vendors to provide meat and cheese products for a 3-month contract period from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. The bid specifications outline detailed requirements for 38 line items of various meat and cheese products, including detailed product specifications, packaging, and delivery terms. Vendors must submit fixed delivered pricing for each item and will be evaluated on the best overall value across the items. Bids are due by September 17, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. and the contract will be awarded to a minimum of 3 but no more than 5 responsive and responsible bidders. Vendors will be required to execute a Commonwealth Standard Contract Form and provide proof of insurance coverage.

The procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The bid documents do not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. While the total contract value is not explicitly stated, the bid specifications indicate that the Hampshire Sheriff's Office is seeking to establish pricing agreements with multiple vendors for the specified meat and cheese products during the 3-month contract period.
