4. 4. Will supply Great Plains' central warehouse in Desmoines, Iowa, with 3,500 one-pound bags of popcorn kernels each month and will have the capacity to add up to 2,000 additional bags - given one month's prior notice - to meet changing levels of demand.

Only vendors who have experience in supplying popcorn kernels to retailers should submit bids. At the time of the bid submittal, bidders should provide a one-pound quantity of their product which Puffy Pop can test.

Bids should contain the following information:
1. 1. Point of contact at the vendor facility. Include name, telephone number, fax number, address, and e-mail address.
