Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors that can provide a firm‑fixed‑price supply of various bread products to two VA medical centers in Texas. The contractor will be required to deliver fresh bread weekly to both the Temple and Waco campuses, meet strict freshness and labeling requirements, and submit weekly invoices. The award will be a base period of one year with four consecutive option years, totaling up to five years of service.
• Deliver a minimum of one weekly delivery to each site (Temple and Waco) of specified bread items (white sandwich loaf, whole‑wheat loaf, hamburger buns, hot‑dog buns, cinnamon swirl, hoagie rolls, Texas toast).
• Ensure each delivery has at least seven days of remaining shelf life, proper packaging, and compliant labeling (open‑date or coded‑date with key).
• Provide weekly electronic invoices, adhere to VA inspection rights, and supply delivery personnel with identifiable clothing and badges.
