Summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is soliciting bids for the supply of Pasta Products and Mac & Cheese intended for use in Domestic Food Assistance Programs, including the National School Lunch Program. This opportunity is open to contractors who can provide these food products, with a specific emphasis on small businesses, as there is a set-aside of up to 30% for small businesses for general pasta products and 50% for a specific egg noodle product. Bidders must ensure that their products are packaged in cartons or boxes, as plastic packaging is not permitted. The solicitation requires that all offers be submitted electronically through the Web-Based Supply Chain Management System (WBSCM), and bidders must be prepared to demonstrate their ability to deliver the products on time and in acceptable condition. This opportunity is ideal for food manufacturers and suppliers who meet the eligibility criteria and can comply with the USDA's procurement requirements.
