Kd/Vdc/Frozen Biscuits/10-23

This contract involves a bid for the supply of frozen, ready-to-bake biscuits to the Virginia Department of General Services under the Virginia Distribution Center (VDC) procurement process. The solicitation, identified as A194DGS:70608, was posted on June 26, 2024, with a response deadline of July 1, 2024. The contract is intended for vendors capable of providing quantities ranging from a minimum of $50,000 to a maximum of $200,000, with the bidding unit of measure being each individual item. The contract emphasizes strict compliance with Virginia’s procurement regulations, including adherence to special terms and conditions outlined in the VDC July 2019 guidelines, which specify requirements for bid pricing, product qualifications, certifications, and delivery standards. Notably, the exterior of each case must contain a UPC barcode, and the product must meet USDA grade and frozen product standards. Vendors are required to include payment terms and any discount conditions in their response headers or comments, as these are critical for evaluation. The contract also mandates that delivery conditions accommodate late or early shipments, with an emphasis on product quality, certification, and proper labeling. The procurement process discourages result sharing via fax or phone due to high buying volume and encourages use of the eVA platform for quick quote evaluations for awarded bids. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Kevin Davis, reachable via email or phone, and the contract aims to ensure the delivery of high-quality frozen biscuits that meet all regulatory and quality standards specified by the Virginia Department of General Services.
