About this file
This document is a Notice of Rejection to Re-Bid issued by the School District of Manatee County Purchasing Department in Bradenton, Florida. On April 4, 2024, the District opened Invitation to Bid SDMC No. 25-0008-KD for Food and Food Supplies (Non-National School Lunch Program), but subsequently decided to reject the initial bid and re-issue it under a new bid number. The purpose of the original solicitation was to establish providers for purchasing food, food supplies, food service products, equipment, and services for culinary classrooms, school, and departmental use.
The solicitation seeks contractors who can provide firm, fixed percentage discounts off published catalogs or manufacturer's price lists for various food-related products. The District intends to award the contract to multiple suppliers, with the flexibility to select vendors based on pricing, product variety, scheduling, and other criteria. No specific contract value or purchase volume is guaranteed, and the District retains discretion in ordering. A notable provision requires contractors to agree to bill at actual cost without markup during declared disaster situations, demonstrating the District's commitment to cost management and emergency preparedness.

I of the State Constitution until such time as the agency provides notice of an intended decision concerning the reissued competitive solicitation or until the agency withdraws the reissued competitive solicitation.
