2026-27 Fresh Made Pizza for Lunch Service

Northville Public Schools in Michigan is requesting proposals for fresh-made pizza lunch service during the 2026–27 school year, with proposals due August 17, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. and bids opening publicly at 11:15 a.m. The District anticipates awarding separate contracts to multiple vendors by school level — one for elementary schools, up to two for middle schools, and one for high school — to meet up to 25,000 annual pizzas across nine school sites.

Bidders must be established for at least three years, provide three or more client references, submit notarized familial disclosure statements, and comply with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. Health inspection ratings and nutritional data analysis documentation are required.

Pizzas must be 14 inches in diameter, sliced into eight equal slices, and meet federal Child Nutrition Meal Pattern Requirements with sodium limits of 1,110 milligrams or less and calorie limits of 650 or less per slice. Cheese pizza specifications call for light mozzarella at 16 ounces total, whole grain crust equaling two bread equivalents per slice at 56 grams by weight, and low-sodium sauce at 6 ounces. Pepperoni pizza must include 14 ounces of light mozzarella and reduced-fat, low-sodium pepperoni with similar crust and sauce requirements. All pizzas must be delivered in insulated bags or hot boxes at temperatures exceeding 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Anticipated weekly delivery volumes range from 40 to 250 pizzas per school site, with elementary schools receiving Tuesday deliveries and middle and high schools receiving deliveries on varying weekdays. Pricing must include all delivery charges and freight, with weekly invoicing and District payment. Bidders must submit two hot pizza samples — one cheese and one pepperoni — meeting all specifications at the bid opening for evaluation. The contract term covers the 2026–27 school year with no renewal options. Final contract awards are determined at the August 25, 2026 Board of Education meeting.
