T1105 - Meats- Cured, Fresh, Chilled and Frozen for DSS - Partial Re-Bid

The New Jersey Department of the Treasury's Division of Purchase and Property is conducting a partial re-bid (Solicitation #25DPP01150) for meats procurement for Distribution and Support Services (DSS), specifically seeking quotes for three meat products: emulsified beef minute steaks, beef bologna, and pork roll. The procurement is designed to establish a three-year contract with potential for up to three one-year extensions, with estimated annual quantities of 13,000 cases of minute steaks, 6,000 cases of beef bologna, and 1,200 cases of pork roll. Bidders must submit firm fixed prices per case, with delivery required within 30 calendar days after order receipt. Electronic questions are due by March 7, 2025, with quote submissions due on March 28, 2025. Vendors must complete a comprehensive set of standard procurement forms, including an Ownership Disclosure Form, Iran Disclosure Form, and a Bidder Data Sheet demonstrating previous contract experience. Evaluation will focus on vendor qualifications, with the state intending to make one contract award per price line and reserving the right to invoke Best and Final Offers if deemed in the state's best interest.

No specific small business or disabled veteran set-asides are designated for this procurement. A 1% Procurement Efficiency Program fee will apply to all purchases, and vendors must comply with standard state terms including business registration, anti-discrimination requirements, and affirmative action policies. While no incumbent vendor information is explicitly provided, the solicitation indicates this is a partial re-bid of a previous contract (#22DPP00704) for items not previously awarded. Vendors must demonstrate capability to consistently deliver meat products meeting precise specifications, including specific weight ranges, packaging configurations, and delivery schedules. Although no explicit budget range is stated, the procurement suggests significant volume potential across three product lines, with estimated annual case quantities indicating a substantial contract value. Successful bidders must also complete a Security Due Diligence questionnaire and provide proof of business registration and insurance certificates as part of the contract award process.
