Description
The Saint Louis Zoo seeks proposals for a non-exclusive vendor-of-record agreement to supply bones and meat for animal consumption. Estimated annual needs include cut femur bones, fresh beef heart, beef shanks, and whole-slab and individually cut beef ribs; the listed quantities are estimates rather than guaranteed purchases. Pricing is to be provided through the attached Vendor of Record Pricing Form, and purchases will be authorized by purchase orders. Products must arrive in good condition, uncontaminated, and compliant with the stated sourcing, composition, hygiene, and traceability standards. The vendor must use insulated packaging with seasonal heat or cold packs, accommodate off-day deliveries when needed, provide advance notice of shortages, and replace missing or rejected items at no additional cost. The agreement begins January 1, 2027, or upon the last authorized signature if later, and runs through December 31, 2028, with up to two additional one-year renewals by mutual written agreement.
