Food, Direct to Warehouse NOI Commodity Processing

The Little Rock School District is seeking proposals for food commodity processing services. The district is looking for a vendor to provide various food items, including chicken and applesauce cups, that meet specific nutritional requirements. The contract will be awarded based on factors such as price, quality of submitted samples, company profile, and overall responsiveness. The proposed costs, fee, or expense will weigh heavily in the award of the contract, but will not necessarily be the determining factor. • The contract requires the vendor to provide peanut-free products processed at a peanut-free facility. • The vendor must provide CN labels or product formulation sheets for all products. • The district reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and waive any irregularities or formalities in any solicitation or proposal responses. • The contract will be for a determined period, with the purchase volume to be established after enrollment is confirmed. • The vendor must be able to provide products that meet the USDA Child Nutrition Program Meal Pattern Requirements. • The district will negotiate with the apparent acceptable offerer as appropriate.
