WSLCB Delivery Standards

Delivery Standards

Receipt of all required documents establishes the priority in which you will be scheduled for presentation. Liquor Purchasing will notify suppliers of their scheduled presentation times. Presentations will normally be scheduled approximately once a month at Liquor Control Board Headquarters, 3000 Pacific Avenue SE, Olympia, Washington. It is not absolutely essential for a supplier representative to be present at the presentation in order for a product to be considered for listing.

Suppliers will normally be limited to a maximum of two items per presentation. Presentations will be limited to an absolute maximum of 10 minutes. No listing decisions will be made by the Board during these listing presentations. Board action will be taken at a regularly scheduled Board meeting following the listing presentation. If an item is not accepted by the Board for listing, it may not be presented again for at least one year. If an item has been de-listed by the Board, it may not be presented for re-listing for at least two years from the time it was de-listed. If you wish to submit samples, we prefer that you send them at the same time or shortly after you send the required documents. This would normally allow the product to be tasted prior to the scheduled presentation. No more than a total of 3 liters of spirits or 3 liters of wines can be accepted (any combination of sizes totaling 3 liters of spirits or 3 liters of wines). If wines are available only in a size larger than 3 liters, one sample size larger than 3 liters may be submitted.

All required listing materials and samples should be sent to the attention of Purchasing Services, Washington State Liquor Control Board, P. O. Box 43096, Olympia, Washington 98504-3096.

If you have any questions regarding these listing presentations or need any forms, please contact Liquor Purchasing at (360) 664-1652.
