This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) appendices document issued by the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) for Master Price Agreement 421, a statewide school food services program. The RFP solicits proposals from qualified firms to provide comprehensive food service management company (FSMC) services across multiple School Food Authorities (SFAs) and independent schools throughout Rhode Island. The program encompasses administration of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), After School Snack Program (ASSP), Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), and Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Vendors must submit proposals electronically through Ocean State Procures by March 27, 2026 at 2:00 PM EDT, with a questions deadline of March 11, 2026 at 2:00 PM EDT. The initial contract term begins July 1, 2026 for one year, with options for up to four additional 12-month renewal periods at RIDE's discretion, requiring written notice at least 90 days prior to each renewal year. The appendices provided detail nutrition requirements, equipment specifications, fiscal requirements, online accountability system requirements, management fee structures, meal prices across districts for school year 2024-2025, FSMC contract expiration dates, meal counts by program type, net cash resources, commodity entitlements, and food waste regulations compliance requirements.

Pricing terms are structured as cost-reimbursable contracts with separate management fees and general support service fees calculated per meal equivalent or as fixed amounts, with annual adjustments permitted based on the U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index. Bids must be structured to ensure vendors do not profit on food or equipment purchases, with all profit opportunity limited to management and general support fees. Vendors must provide full disclosure of all food and equipment prices, discounts, rebates, allowances, and credits in accordance with USDA regulations. The RFP requires Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation in accordance with Rhode Island law, with an MBE Utilization Plan to be submitted upon award issuance. All awarded vendors are subject to a 0.33% contract administrative fee withheld from invoices. Required insurance coverage includes general liability ($1,000,000), workers' compensation ($100,000), automobile liability ($1,000,000), liability insurance for work with children, elderly, and disabled persons ($1,000,000), and technology errors and omissions insurance ($5,000,000). The Master Price Agreement has statewide applicability and may be utilized by political subdivisions, municipalities, and institutions of higher education. The appendices include meal count data for 39 public school districts and numerous independent and charter schools, commodity entitlements totaling approximately $7.8 million statewide for SY2024-2025, and net cash resource summaries indicating significant federal reimbursement revenues and operational expenditures across participating districts.

Appendix E: Purchasing Criteria

Required

Full Disclosure of ALL prices paid for all items purchased for the school meals operations

(“consumables”), including but not limited to food, cleaning supplies, paper goods, and small

wares.

Full disclosure of the value of ALL discounts, rebates, allowances, incentives or other applicable

credits, received by management companies from its suppliers and in accordance with USDA

regulations.

Bids on this contract must be structured to ensure that the Vendor does not make any profit on

the purchase of food or equipment. There is ample opportunity for profit in the management and

general support fees. The bidder must provide a methodology for RIDE to use to monitor this

requirement, e.g., annual or quarterly that demonstrate food purchases at equal or lesser cost than

state master price agreements; demonstrate use of USDA Foods or Farm-to-School products;

competitive bids for purchases

Local (RI) Produce and the RI Farm-and-Sea-to-School Program

Purchases will be made from RI farms when comparable or higher quality product is available at

an equal or lesser cost than from its current primary produce vendor, or as the SFA requests.

Multi-year relationships with local farms (RI farms) are strongly encouraged.

The Vendor will maximize its participation in the RI Farm-to-School program. Product

availability and pricing information will be sought and regularly monitored from RI farms.

USDA Foods

The Vendor will provide one person as a point of contact for the USDA Foods Program to work

closely with the RI Department of Corrections, Central Distribution Center. Goals to be achieved

in USDA Foods Program include:

•Maximum utilization of USDA Foods Program for all items offered by USDA that meet the

Nutrition Criteria specified in this contract, especially fresh, frozen and canned fruits and

vegetables (in that order of preference.)

•Make processing decisions/agreements for raw commodity products that provide the most

nutritious final product in terms of lowest added fats, sweeteners and sodium, use of whole

grains and legumes, and use of whole fresh or dried (unsweetened and non-fried) fruits and

vegetables in collaboration with the District.

•Maximum utilization of Department of Defense Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with

the overall goal of greatly increasing the fruit and vegetable offerings in the SBP, NSLP,

and After School Snack program.

RI Department of Corrections, Central Distribution Center

The Vendor will work with the Central Distribution Center (State Warehouse) at the

Department of Corrections to purchase, store and distribute lower cost, healthier foods for the

school meals and snack programs to take advantage of food cost savings and/or the improved

accessibility to healthier food items through the USDA Foods Program.

The Vendor will also work with the State Warehouse to ensure efficient pickup and delivery of

commodities on a regular basis. The intent is that the Vendor act as a single point of contact to

order, pick up and distribute USDA Foods to the benefit of both the State Warehouse and school

districts that, in the past, had to accomplish these tasks on an individual basis. A regular

schedule for these activities is to be developed and mutually agreed to with the State

Warehouse.

Appendix F Appendix F - Equipment

For the purpose of this RFP, equipment includes, but is not limited to, kitchen equipment (such

as stoves, refrigerators, warmers, freezers, dishwashers, etc.), small wares (such as pans),

vending machines, vehicles used to transport food and/or mail, and electronic meal

accountability / Point of Service (POS) systems.

As noted in the Scope of Work, deliverables at both the state and SFA level require the

development of statewide equipment needs assessment plan for those districts participating in

this Program. This would include equipment inventory, maintenance, replacement and

regionalization efforts.

Some additional points to consider:

•The regional sharing of equipment, where appropriate, is encouraged. For example, food

transportation and vehicle ownership would best be suited by a regional plan in order to

encourage best-cost practices.

•The state is looking for all schools to have an electronic on-line meal accountability system.

This system must interact with RIDE's online claims management system and the district/school

enrollment student count systems (see Appendix H)

Appendix I Appendix I - Management Fee and General Support Fee

From USDA’s “Revised Prototype Food Service Management Company Checklist, Appendix B

from Contracting with Food Service Management Companies Guidance to School Food

Authorities, two fee structures are acceptable:

a. A cost-reimbursable contract, permits the FSMC to pass food service operating costs

through to the SFA and charge an additional fixed or flat-fee that covers management

and administrative (general support services) costs. Typically, the general support

services fee represents overhead costs and the management fee represents the profits.

b. Enough contract detail regarding the fee structure is required to ensure that is no double

billing, i.e., same item(s) included in the management fee and general support services

fee.

Fees listed in RIDE prototype contract include the following:

Acceptable:

a. Management Fee – acceptable, based on set amount or percentage of meal equivalent.

b. General Support Services Fee – acceptable, based on set amount or percentage of

meal equivalent.

RIDE defines the General Support Fee as follows:

The SFA will pay the FSMC a General Support Services Fee on the basis of the Indirect

Operating Costs incurred by the FSMC in the operation of the SFA’s Food Service Program. All
