In addition to your price, if your quantities such as case count differ from what is posted, please do the calculations to match what your price would be as if you were delivering what is posted also post your actual case count and price as well. If the calculations are not done and annotated on the bid sheet, your line?item bid price will not be accepted. Due to numerous items that have attempted delivery with… (show all)

expired dates or not meeting specifications, etc....., we will document those items and you will be listed on a do not award list for the following quarter.

If our warehouse rejects any item, please be respectful and just pick it back up.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
