Fresh Produce and Specialty Food Items

The University of Wisconsin‑Stout’s Dining Services department is seeking a qualified supplier to provide a broad range of fresh produce and specialty food items on an ongoing basis. Bidders must submit a single “all‑items” price sheet (the Market Basket) that covers every listed line‑item, include a uniform markup percentage, and meet extensive certification, insurance, and compliance requirements (HACCP, USDA/PACA licenses, work‑center employment, affirmative‑action plan, etc.). The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and will support the university’s food‑service operations for at least the FY 2026 purchasing year. • Provide all fresh fruit, vegetables, and processed specialty foods in the exact pack sizes or approved alternatives listed in the cost‑sheet template. • Submit the completed Cost Sheet (Attachment A) and the required Bidder Required Form (DOA‑3832) via the ShopUW+ Sourcing Module by 2:00 PM CT on May 22, 2026. • Meet mandatory regulatory and insurance standards, disclose any minority‑/veteran‑owned status, and agree to allow other UW‑System campuses, state agencies, and Wisconsin municipalities to use the resulting contract.
