About this file
This is a contractor certification document required by the South Dakota Department of Education's Division of Child and Adult Nutrition Services for a processing services contract involving the transformation of USDA Bulk Liquid Eggs into six specified end products for the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. The required finished products include pre-cooked Colby cheese omelets, egg and cheese tortillas, scrambled egg patties, scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon, whole grain French toast sticks, and turkey sausage egg bake bites, each meeting specific Child Nutrition meal equivalency and sodium requirements. A mandatory Letter of Intent is due December 1, 2025, with mandatory sample taste testing of 15 servings for each item due to five specified schools by December 8, 2025. Formal proposals are due December 22, 2025, by 5:00 PM CT, and the contract award is anticipated January 13, 2026, with a contract start date of July 1, 2026. The initial contract term runs through June 30, 2027, with the State retaining the right to extend for an additional four years and renew for additional one-year terms if mutually agreed. Evaluation criteria allocate 25 points for cost and reliability, 15 points for marketability based on sample taste testing, and 10 points each for nutritional contribution and labeling requirements.
The successful contractor must be an approved USDA National Processing Agreement Commodity Processor with pre-approved end products manufactured under USDA inspection, Total Quality Control, and HACCP programs. Contractors must certify compliance with South Dakota Executive Order 2023-02, confirming they are not "Prohibited Entities" ultimately owned or controlled by foreign nationals or governments from China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Cuba, or Venezuela, with false certifications subject to contract termination. Required insurance includes commercial general liability of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, business automobile liability of $1,000,000 per accident, and professional liability insurance of $1,000,000. Delivery of finished products must occur to Nordica Warehouses, Inc. in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, within 30 days of receiving a purchase order, with bid pricing including all transportation costs. The procurement involves processing approximately one truck of bulk eggs per school year with a maximum monthly delivery quantity not exceeding 4,000 pounds, and all products must comply with specific packaging requirements including CN labels, ingredient statements, and cooking instructions with case weight limits of 40 pounds.
