The Iowa Department of Administrative Services is soliciting bids for the supply of milk and dairy products to the Des Moines Residential Correctional Facility under solicitation number DASIowa-005-RFB-2829-2026, posted on June 8, 2026, with a response deadline of June 22, 2026. The contract is set to commence on September 26, 2026, and conclude on September 25, 2030, with the agency retaining the unilateral right to extend the contract for up to three additional one-year periods under the same or more favorable terms. This is not an exclusive contract, and the resulting agreement will be available for use by all state agencies. Bidders must ensure their submissions are complete and certified, as any reopening of the bid after initial submission requires re-certification and resubmission, even if no changes are made. Amendments issued by the contracting officer must be acknowledged and the bid resubmitted to remain valid. All information entered prior to an amendment is preserved, but failure to resubmit after an amendment will invalidate the bid. Bidders are responsible for understanding all requirements and are advised to save progress frequently during submission. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Randy Bennett at randy.bennett@das.iowa.gov.
