Bid 22-12 Solicitation

This is a sealed bid solicitation from the Savannah-Chatham County Board of Education, acting on behalf of the Savannah-Chatham County School Nutrition Department, for the processing of USDA commodity chicken. The bidder must be approved by the State of Georgia Food Processing Program and can only submit products from the state's list of approved processors' end products. The processor must be capable of making multiple deliveries throughout the school year, with the specific quantities of product to be mutually agreed upon between the school nutrition program and the selected processor. The solicitation indicates that deliveries will occur periodically during the academic year rather than as a single shipment.

All freight and delivery charges must be included in the unit cost quoted by bidders. In accordance with Section 104(d) of the William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act and Section 12(n) of the National School Lunch Act, Savannah-Chatham County prioritizes the purchase of domestically grown and processed foods to the maximum extent practicable. Bidders may be required to certify the percentage of U.S. content in the products they supply to demonstrate compliance with federal domestic sourcing preferences.
