T0001 Foods: Fresh Baked or Frozen Bread and Related Products Per County - Statewide

The State of New Jersey, through the Department of the Treasury - Division of Purchase and Property, is conducting a statewide bid solicitation (#22DPP00678) for the procurement of fresh baked or frozen bread and related products, including loaf breads, bagels, rolls and buns, and miscellaneous breads. The contract will cover deliveries to various counties and jurisdictions across the state, including Mercer County and the city of Trenton. Vendors may bid on one, some, or all of the four defined product categories and counties. Pricing will be based on a firm, fixed percentage discount or markup applied to the vendor's published price list or catalog. Vendors must provide information on delivery lead times and cash discount terms. Quotes are due on January 20, 2022 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, and the contract term will be for an initial period with options to extend.

The contract opportunity is not set aside for small businesses or disabled veteran-owned businesses. The state does not provide any details on incumbent vendors or current contract values. However, the contract will be awarded to multiple responsive and responsible vendors, with each vendor receiving a master blanket purchase order for the brands and counties they bid on. The participating state agencies and cooperative purchasing program members, which include quasi-state entities, counties, municipalities, and school districts, will provide the funding for the contract.
