Evaluation will emphasize past performance and delivery schedule, with socio-economic status, overall price, and delivery schedule also considered. If your case count differs from the posted quantities, you must calculate and annotate your bid to match the posted quantity; otherwise, the line-item bid will not be accepted. Past performance issues—such as deliveries with expired dates or items not meeting specifications—will be documented, leading to placement on a do-not-award list for the following quarter and voiding future bids. Warehouse rejections must be picked up respectfully, and unpleasant communication may result in no communication the following quarter.
