T0013 - Foods: Cookies, Crackers, & Dry Snacks - Statewide

This is a statewide procurement solicitation issued by the New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, to provide a variety of cookies, crackers, and dry snacks to state and local government entities such as Mercer County and Trenton City. The contract covers over 60 line items of baked goods, including approved brands and specifications, and requires vendors to provide unit pricing, case pricing, and detailed product information. Deliveries must meet nutritional requirements and USDA specifications, and the contract will be awarded for a 3-year term with up to three 1-year extension options. The procurement has a mandatory vendor question due date of August 12, 2016, with proposals due by August 31, 2016. No pre-proposal conferences or site visits are required.

This contract is set up as a small business set-aside, meaning only vendors registered with the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, Small Business Registration and M/WBE Certification Services Unit, are eligible to submit proposals. The current contract expenditures and pricing are available, but no incumbent vendor information is provided. The intent is to award multiple master blanket purchase orders to allow smaller agencies to access the contract, with no guarantee of quantities and pricing adjustments allowed during the contract term.
