Description
The State of Montana is considering a request to participate in a contract initiated and managed by Sourcewell, a cooperative purchasing office of the State of Minnesota, for goods and services related to food service distribution for K-12. The contract will provide food products and distribution services to school food authorities, along with related supplies, technology, and services. Proposers are expected to offer a wide array of equipment, products, or services at lower prices and with better value than what they would ordinarily offer to a single participating entity. The contract term is anticipated to be one year, with three optional one-year extensions.
Key points to consider:
• The contract will be awarded to proposers who can best meet the needs of participating entities.
• Proposers should submit their complete line of equipment, products, or services that are applicable to the scope of this RFP.
• The Market Basket Analysis will be used to evaluate proposals, with 200 points allocated to this aspect.
• Proposers should include all relevant information in their proposal, as Sourcewell cannot consider information that is not included.
• The submission of inaccurate, misleading, or false information is grounds for disqualification from a contract award.
