Mandatory Pre-Proposal Conference on 10/6/2009
The purpose of this Request for Proposal hereinafter referred to, as RFP is to establish an
agreement with a full line food service distributor who can supply the product categories listed below.
It is the intent of the University that the Vendor would be the primary supplier or Prime Vendor of a
wide range of food and food service related supplies for various operations on the University campus.
The University desires to minimize sources of supply and agrees to use the Vendor as the prime
source of covered products. The intent is to purchase approximately 65% of the annual budget of
food and food service related supplies for the participating University operations. The Vendor must
reciprocally agree to provide total requirements and minimize the occurrences when the University
may have to seek other interim product sources. The University does reserve the right to utilize a
secondary vendor for food and food service related supplies if it is determined that it is in the best
interest of the University to do so.
