Question

1. Can Manufacturers submit less than full cases

for samples?

2. Please confirm that the Oracle bulk load catalog

is not required for this bid since it id for food

service.

3. Are brokers allowed to bid direct to warehouse

for Commodity bid?

Answer

Yes, we will accept partial cases. The

packages need to be properly labeled and

include all required documents. The

number of servings provided need to be

sufficient for effective testing for the

evaluation committee.

Correct, Bulk Load is NOT required for

this RFP.

The supplier needs to be the manufacturer

that is providing the commodity processed

foods.

4. Will both the commodity and commercial

versions of the item be awarded to a single

vendor, or will they be awarded separately - one

vendor for the commodity line and another for

the commercial line?

We award one vendor to both lines. For

example, if you are award for Line 7, then

you would be awarded both commodity

and commercial pricing. Not all awards

will receive commodity allocations so we

would purchase using commercial pricing.

5. There are two bid lines noted on this RFP which

we need clarification. Does this mean a school We award one vendor to both lines. For

intends to purchase approximately 2000 cases of example, if you are award for Line 7, then

Commodity Calzone (example) initially, and you would be awarded both commodity

then transition to 200 cases of Commercial

and commercial pricing. Not all awards

Calzones once the commodity pounds are

will receive commodity allocations so we

depleted?

would purchase using commercial pricing.

6. Will you allow manufacturers to bid on the

commercial line only and not the commodity

line?

7. In reviewing the line items, will Garland provide

SUPC or item number for them? Having those

details would really help us search for the exact

matches, or suitable equivalents that align with

Garland ISD's requirements.

8. Could you clarify the response to our question

regarding the line items 52.01 and 52.02? It

mentions a preference for whole grain-rich

breading but the item in question isn't breaded?

If you only have a commercial product,

then you will submit your pricing for both

lines and indicate that you only have a

commercial item.

We require that the item meets the

specifications. A specific item number is

not also requested to allow for similar

products to be bid.

For clarification, line 52 is a non-breaded

item.

9. Regarding line items 52.01 and 52.02, would a

certified gluten-free chicken breast patty made

with whole muscle product be acceptable?

10. Will there be an extension for this proposal?

Yes, this will be considered for evaluation.

Yes, it will be extended to January 6th by

10:30 am. Hard Copies along with a

thumb drive of the spreadsheet of line

items will be required if the system

(Oracle) is still not working.
