Description

Manchester Public Schools, together with Glastonbury Public Schools, issued an RFP to supply a full range of bread products for the 2020‑2021 school year. The vendor must provide nutritional and ingredient data, deliver directly to each school site within a 7 a.m.–2 p.m. window, use sanitary packaging and refrigerated trucks where needed, and meet all federal, state, and local food‑safety regulations. Pricing is submitted on a net‑price, tax‑exempt basis for each item. Evaluation will consider vendor experience, price competitiveness, and references. The contract runs from July 1 2020 through June 30 2021 with the possibility of two one‑year extensions subject to mutual written agreement. • Supply of assorted bread items (loaves, rolls, English muffins, etc.) to 30+ school locations in CT. • Direct, on‑site deliveries during school days; refrigerated transport required for perishable items. • Mandatory submission of nutrition/ingredient data, compliance certifications, and insurance meeting specified minimums.

Contract value

$2,000,000

There is no disclosed contract total. Estimating based on the number of schools (≈30), a typical school day requiring ~100 loaves/rolls per school, 180 school days per year gives roughly 540,000 units. Assuming an average net price of $3.00 per unit (loaves, rolls, muffins) yields about $1.6 million. Adding ancillary items (specialty rolls, packaging, delivery fees) likely brings the total to around $2 million. This ball‑park reflects typical school‑food‑service bakery spend for a single‑year contract of this scope.
