This document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Hartford Public Schools, Food & Child Nutrition Services Department for the delivery of paper and supplies to various school locations throughout the City of Hartford. The solicitation, numbered 15941, seeks vendors to provide paper and supplies for the 2023-2024 school year, with a procurement period from May 31, 2023, at 7:00:00 AM EDT to June 28, 2023, at 2:00:00 PM EDT. The RFP is open to all vendors and requires delivery on a Free On Board (FOB) Destination basis, with vendors specifying their own payment terms.

The solicitation does not specify line items or quantities, instead requiring vendors to complete the HPS Paper and Supplies 2023-2024 Specification Pricing Sheet with detailed pricing and specifications. No estimated total contract value is disclosed, and there are no apparent set-asides or restrictions on vendor types. Potential bidders can direct questions to Lonnie Burt at burty001@hartfordschools.org. The lack of predefined evaluation criteria and specific funding sources suggests vendors will have significant flexibility in proposal preparation, with the contract covering the entire 2023-2024 school year and potentially establishing a long-term partnership for the selected vendor.
