About this file
This is an approved award document for RFP-2601AM issued by Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) in Georgia for the purchase of school nutrition program food items and distribution services. The solicitation was open to qualified service providers and sought competitive sealed proposals for food procurement and logistics to support public agency nutrition programs. The proposed contract term runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The procurement coordinator for this initiative is Ann Marie Serafin. A total of 314 vendors were notified of the solicitation opportunity, including 41 Black or African American-owned businesses, 4 Hispanic or Latino-owned businesses, 7 Asian-owned businesses, 1 Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander-owned business, and 1 American Indian or Alaska Native-owned business. Four suppliers submitted proposals: US Foods, Gold Star Foods, Sysco Atlanta, and Young Food Entertainment, LLC (a minority-owned supplier). Young Food Entertainment was deemed non-responsive as it offered only a single product.
Gold Star Foods was selected as the awarded supplier with a total cost proposal of $52,806,393.14, which included $39,801,029.96 for market basket items and $13,005,363.18 for total commodities. This award amount represents an increase from the previous award amount of $48,000,000.00 to the proposed amount to be spent of $53,000,000.00. The scoring evaluation encompassed technical criteria valued at 900 points, cost evaluation scenarios valued at 200 points, and optional interview components valued at 100 points. Gold Star Foods achieved a technical score of 857.05 points and a cost evaluation score of 184.55 points, substantially outperforming competitors Sysco Atlanta (776.25 technical points, 200 cost points) and US Foods (205.08 technical points, 132.58 cost points). The technical evaluation assessed factors including implementation processes, inventory management, rebates and reporting, ordering procedures, delivery capabilities, value-added technology solutions, accounting procedures, product marketing, references, and cooperative contract support.
