This document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Hartford Public Schools, Food & Child Nutrition Services Department for the solicitation of milk and milk products delivery services. The solicitation (Number 15074) was released on April 20, 2023, with vendor responses due by May 17, 2023, at 2:00 PM EDT. The procurement seeks to establish a dairy product delivery contract for all school locations throughout the City of Hartford for the 2023-2024 school year. The RFP is open to all vendors and specifies delivery terms as Free On Board Destination, with the contract period covering the entire 2023-2024 academic year.

The solicitation does not specify a total estimated contract value, set-aside designations, or specific vendor qualification requirements. Payment terms are to be vendor-specified, and interested vendors can direct any questions to Lonnie Burt at BURTY001@hartfordschools.org. The RFP includes supporting documentation such as a Dairy Specification Pricing Sheet and a HPS Dairy document, which presumably contain detailed product specifications and pricing guidelines. No vendor Q&A start or end dates are indicated, and there is no mention of a bidders' conference or site visit requirements. The procurement appears to be a straightforward competitive bid for comprehensive dairy product delivery services for the Hartford Public Schools system.
