Kitchen Cooking Equipment

The Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) is seeking qualified vendors to supply a range of kitchen cooking equipment for its K‑12 school cafeterias. Vendors must complete a detailed cost spreadsheet, provide all‑inclusive unit, delivery, and installation pricing, and indicate any permissible escalation percentages for a five‑year contract. The award will be based on the lowest total acquisition cost among responsive and responsible offers, and the contract will be a fixed‑price, multi‑year agreement with an annual option for price re‑determination. • Required items include double‑stack convection ovens, steamers, milk boxes, and tilt skillets from specified manufacturers (Southbend, AcuTemp, Beverage Air, Cleveland). • Pricing must be submitted for each highlighted item; missing data results in a non‑responsive bid. • Delivery must be made to every MNPS school location listed in the “Location List – Nutrition Services” (over 150 sites) with FOB destination, supplier‑prepaid, and any damaged goods must be replaced at no cost. • The contract term is five years, with the first‑year price firm and optional escalation for years 2‑5; vendors may propose a maximum escalation percentage or leave it at 0 %. • Vendors must provide required certifications (debarment, insurance, etc.) and submit all documentation via the iSupplier portal by the March 6 2026 deadline.
