N0018K FISC NORFOLK 1968 GILBERT ST VA1000 USS MINNEAPOLIS ST PAUL (LCS-21) ANNAPOLIS, MD PIER # Following are specific questions to consider: 1) Can you support any or all of the customers listed above? Many of the customers expect delivery 48 hours after placing their orders. Are there any location limitations in meeting this delivery schedule? 2) Do you have preferred delivery set-ups (routes, grouping of customers) to provide complete food support throughout the region? 3) Some of our customers are remotely located and require smaller pack-size items. Can this requirement be provided? Can you provide service to them, regardless of weather conditions? What method of shipping would be used? 4) Would there be customers who could not be supported if an emergency order is needed (either same day or next day)? 5) Please confirm if your facility is capable and willing to complete a long-term 5-year contract. We encourage and appreciate your participation; please share your ideas regarding these issues. Your written comments, suggestions, and ideas regarding support for our customers will be treated as confidential and for Government use only.
