IFB24018TC assorted dairy

This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by Norfolk Public Schools (NPS) in Norfolk, Virginia to solicit sealed bids from qualified sources to provide Assorted Dairy products, including refrigerated and shelf-stable items, for the 2024-2025 school year. The IFB outlines detailed specifications for various dairy products such as cheese, milk, eggs, and yogurt, including required product characteristics, crediting requirements, and shelf-life. Awarded vendors will receive a blanket purchase order and are expected to make deliveries to the NPS warehouse in Norfolk, VA, with a preference for direct shipments from manufacturers. The IFB notes that commodity processing and compliance with the Buy American Act are required. Bidders must list both the commercial price and the current Virginia Fee for Service (FFS), as the commodity pricing and rebates will be used for cost comparison and consideration for future commodity diversion. The IFB does not mention any set-asides or incumbents, but it specifies that the contract will be awarded by line item to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, provided different brands are offered within 5% of the lowest bid.

The IFB is for IFB24018TC ASSORTED DAIRY, with a posting date of April 12, 2024 and a due date of May 3, 2024 at 12:00 PM. NPS will award a one-year contract with four one-year renewal options. The IFB does not provide any information on possible award values or budget ranges.
