Grits

The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction (DAC) is seeking a qualified vendor to furnish and deliver 25‑lb bags of grits on an “as‑needed” basis for use in state prison facilities. This is a sealed‑bid, single‑source solicitation (Invitation for Bid) for a term contract with an initial one‑year period and up to two one‑year renewal options. The State will not guarantee minimum or maximum quantities; the estimated annual requirement is 9,730 bags. Vendors must be registered in the NC e‑Procurement system, submit a complete bid package through the Ariba Sourcing Tool by the bid opening deadline, and comply with all state procurement, E‑Verify, and sustainability requirements. The contract includes standard North Carolina terms, certification of financial condition, and sustainability reporting for the product.
