The mission of school food service is to provide a variety of healthy school meals and other food services at affordable prices in support of the educational goals of students. The schools within the Cooperative participate in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs for reimbursement for meals that meet federal standards and are allocated USDA Foods for use in school meals though the Food Distribution Program. The schools will adhere to “Buy American” for their food service programs. Therefore, the Respondent is required to purchase, to the maximum extent possible, domestic products for use in the USDA Child Nutrition Programs.

The Respondent will be chosen to negotiate with the Cooperative under the terms of the proposal in effect for the 2021-2022 school year.  Agreement period is July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. Option for four (4) one-year renewals with an evaluation by May 1st of each year.
