This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 13928 issued by the Hartford Public Schools, Food & Child Nutrition Services Department in Connecticut for the delivery of grocery and frozen food products to various school locations throughout the City of Hartford for the 2023-2024 school year. The solicitation was originally posted on February 25, 2023, with an initial response deadline of March 24, 2023, which was subsequently revised to Tuesday, March 7, 2023, at 2:00 PM EDT. The RFP seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive delivery services for grocery and frozen food items, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board (FOB) Destination, and is open to all vendors.

The procurement includes multiple supporting documents: the main RFP document, a 2023-2024 HPS Grocery Pricing Sheet, and a revised RFP document. Payment terms are vendor-specified, and no estimated total contract value was disclosed. The solicitation does not provide details about incumbent vendors, specific organizational eligibility criteria, or disadvantaged enterprise requirements. Potential vendors can direct questions to Lonnie Burt, Senior Director, at BURTY001@hartfordschools.org. The lack of specific line item details suggests vendors will have flexibility in developing their proposals, with the pricing sheet serving as the primary mechanism for defining product offerings and associated costs.
