Appendix 9 - School Site List IFB R00B4600179.xlsx

This Appendix 9 document is a School Site List supporting an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) for a Farm to School Food Hub Aggregation contract. The list identifies all public school locations across Maryland that are eligible to participate in the centralized sourcing, procurement, and distribution of unprocessed or minimally processed local food to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) participating in the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. The spreadsheet includes comprehensive site information for schools across all 24 Maryland counties and Baltimore City, listing school site numbers, names, addresses, cities, counties, and zip codes. The document encompasses elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, alternative programs, special education centers, and early childhood facilities, providing the geographic scope and participating locations for potential bidders to understand the distribution network and service requirements across the state's public school system.

The School Site List serves as a critical reference document for bidders responding to the Farm to School Food Hub Aggregation IFB, establishing the universe of approximately 1,400 public school locations where the successful bidder(s) will need to coordinate food sourcing and distribution logistics. This appendix enables qualified vendors to assess operational feasibility, distribution costs, and service coverage across diverse geographic regions ranging from urban Baltimore to rural western Maryland counties. By providing detailed site-specific information including exact school addresses and county classifications, the list allows bidders to develop realistic delivery routes, inventory management strategies, and customer service plans tailored to Maryland's varied school populations and infrastructure requirements.
