About this file
This is a Local Foods Specification Sheet for produce procurement by the Bulloch County School District in Georgia, supporting the district's Farm to School program and fiscal year 2027 contract opportunity. The specification sheet details requirements for 24 produce items across multiple delivery periods throughout the fiscal year. Products requested include watermelons (1,600# total), apples (1,500-2,000#), persimmons (680#), multiple citrus varieties including Kisses, Kishus, Satsumas, and Tangerines (1,500-2,000# each, with Tangerines at 4,800#), sweet potatoes (1,900#), strawberries (690#), small potatoes (1,400#), greens including collards, mixed pre-washed greens, and turnip greens, lettuce, broccoli, carrots (350# per delivery), spinach (260# per delivery), cucumbers (40# per delivery), yellow summer squash (150#), butternut squash (1,035#), tomatoes (100#), pears (100 cases), Vidalia onions (100#), whole grain flour (100# per delivery), and butter beans (350#). Deliveries are distributed across August through May, with most items requiring single deliveries during specified months. All products must be locally grown within 200 miles of Bulloch County and meet specific quality standards regarding size uniformity, cosmetic condition, packaging requirements, and debris-free condition.
The specification sheet requires vendors to submit detailed proposals including proposed varieties, average weights, case counts, pricing information, and pack sizes for items where specifications allow flexibility. Acceptable specifications emphasize Grade A or Grade C produce depending on intended use, with cosmetic imperfections acceptable for most items where yield is not compromised. Packaging varies by product, ranging from 8# flats for strawberries to 40-50# bulk bags for flour and butter beans. The district is seeking to work with one or more vendors that support its commitment to fresh, local, and high-quality produce sourcing. Pricing terms and total cost columns are included in the specification sheet but lack populated values, indicating that vendors must provide their own pricing for evaluation during the proposal process.
