from outside the U.S., a segregation plan shall be put in place to preclude non-conforming product 

from being introduced into Federal nutrition assistance programs. 

* * For a new-to-USDA contractor and existing contractors who are bidding on new products, a 

probationary period will be implemented in which awards are limited to 10 truckloads per product. 

Contractor must demonstrate successful delivery of at least five (5) truckloads of product in order to 

be removed from probationary status on future solicitations. For the purposes of this rule, successful 

delivery is defined as product delivered on-time and in acceptable condition according to the terms and 

conditions of the contract. Any delivery problems directly attributable to the Government will not be 

held against the contractor.* * 

This solicitation may show multiple stops on some line items; however, the number of stops will be 

limited to a maximum of three. To determine the number of destinations, review the "Tendering Text" 

for the lot, which will indicate the City and State for each stop. Bidders may submit different prices 

for each stop. However, a price is required on all line items within the lot. 

For offshore destination (Puerto Rico, Hawaii, etc.), offerors have the option to choose to enter their 

bids direct to the offshore destination to the port. Offshore destination ports: Guam (O-LA; Los 

Angeles, CA), Hawaii (O-LA; Los Angeles, CA), Puerto Rico (O-JACK; Jacksonville, FL) and Virgin 

Islands (O-PEVE; Port Everglades, FL). 

Purchases will be made on f.o.b. destination basis to cities on this Solicitation. Destination quantities 

listed are estimated and subject to adjustment based on offerings, changes in recipient needs, market 

conditions, and program operation. 

The Government reserves the right to reject, in total or in part, manufacturers lots, sub-lots, production 

dates or the like when non-conforming product is identified.
