Smoky Hill ESC Volume Purchasing Program Prime Vendor for Cafeteria Food Questions & Answers
July 11, 2018
How many deliveries a week would this be and how many drop locations?
The number of deliveries each week would be depend on the school districts’ ordering frequency and the delivery schedule that can be arranged with the successful prime vendor. However, delivery at least once per week is preferred.
The number of drop locations will depend on the number of districts that participate in the program. All school districts in the state are eligible to participate in the program so it is possible that the prime vendor will need to be able to provide statewide delivery.

We are not seeing estimated usage on the spreadsheet for the items. Would it be possible to get a sheet with that information?
The bid spreadsheet does not contain estimated amounts on it because we are not able to calculate estimates for the coming year. Bidders may enter a number of their choosing for the quantity based on what they are willing to provide or based on what they estimate schools may purchase. However, we understand that prices may change based on volume.
Total program sales for FY2018 were $858,195.75.
