Through this Request for Proposal (RFP) process, the District is seeking responses from qualified offerors to procure dairy items for delivery to our school based sites.  A qualifying company will need to be able to provide site drops to our 23 district locations multiple times per week.  Offerors and potential offerors to this RFP are referred to as “Offerors” or “Offeror” in this RFP.
The awarded Offeror will be the sole contractor and shall fulfill all requirements of the proposal. The District prohibits subcontracting under this contract.
Scope of Work:
The mission of Nutrition Services is to provide a variety of healthy school meals and other food options at affordable prices in support of the educational goals of students. The District participates in the National School Lunch Program for reimbursement of meals that meet federal standards and is allocated USDA commodities for use in school meals through the Food Distribution Program.  In accordance with federal Buy American law, the District desires to purchase domestic food products to the maximum extent practicable for school meals.
One or more Distributors will be chosen to negotiate with the District under the terms of the proposal in effect for school year 2021-2022 beginning on July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2022 with up to four 1-year renewals.
