  • Meat Products: Beef (ground, patties, roasts, frankfurters), Chicken (leg quarters, filets, boneless/skinless breast), Fish (breaded fillets), Pork (Italian sausage, roast), and Turkey (boneless/skinless breast). The estimated value for these meat items is $235,243.50.

Evaluation Factors

Award decisions were based on:
