    A recent inquiry concerning quarterly food bids addressed the due dates for submissions related to meat, certified bids, and subsistence. The question arose due to a discrepancy where meat and certified bids are scheduled for March 10 at noon, while subsistence was noted as 12:00 AM. The clarification provided indicates that the subsistence bid is indeed due at 12:00 AM, with an aim to process it by the close of business on March 10, 2025. The exchange highlights the importance of accuracy in bid submissions and the need for clear communication regarding timelines, as misunderstanding due times can impact procurement processes within government contracting. This situation reflects the operational framework of government Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and underscores the critical nature of adhering to stipulated deadlines in the federal and local bid environments.
