The work spans canned fruit products (applesauce, pears), fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, melons, citrus), dried fruit items, eggs, and consumable food service supplies delivered to central warehouses, school nutrition centers, and individual school locations. Issuing bodies predominantly are K-12 school districts and state health/corrections agencies, with school nutrition programs conducting the majority of recent solicitations under various procurement methods including ITB, IFB, and RFP.
