    CLIN Structure for AMWS Q2 Price Quote.pdf
    This government document outlines a Request for Proposal (RFP) for food services across three months: January, February, and March. It includes a detailed breakdown of meals, categorized by type (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and specific meal designations such as "AT" for auxiliary and "BAG" for bagged meals. Each meal type lists the required quantity, but pricing information is currently absent, indicated by zeros in the price and total columns. Each month features a consistent structure of meal requests, with January and February having identical quantities for most meal types, while the March details appear to have been partially repeated, indicating potential clerical errors or omissions. The purpose behind this document is to solicit proposals from vendors capable of fulfilling meal service requirements for various groups within the jurisdiction, reflecting the government's ongoing commitment to providing adequate nutritional support in various settings. The document's structure facilitates vendors in understanding the specific requirements and quantities needed, impacting their pricing and proposal strategies.
