No Award.doc

The document is a Statement of No Award issued by the State of South Carolina's State Fiscal Accountability Authority (SFAA), Division of Procurement Services, for a Perishable Foods & Supplies solicitation (SAP Solicitation 5400028184) for the Wil Lou Gray Opportunity School. This solicitation, originally scheduled for June 2, 2025, received no responses for either Lot 1 (Groceries & Supplies) or Lot 2 (Produce & Eggs), resulting in the procurement team's decision to cancel the current solicitation and plan to republish a new solicitation at a later date.

The intended contract, though not awarded, was structured for a one-year term from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, with potential four one-year renewals. The procurement was designed to secure a comprehensive food service supplier capable of providing weekly deliveries of various food categories including dairy, meats, seafood, poultry, frozen goods, and canned items. Historical purchasing data from previous procurement cycles indicated an estimated annual purchasing value of $97,318.95, with dairy products representing the largest spending category at $18,946.99. The lack of responses suggests potential challenges in meeting the solicitation's specific requirements or market conditions that may have deterred potential vendors from submitting bids.
