Beverages for Student Meals

The Clark County School District in Nevada seeks qualified beverage suppliers to establish multiple vendors for procurement under Request for Proposal 26027AIT, with a submission deadline of April 30, 2026, and questions due by April 16, 2026. The District is procuring beverages for its school breakfast and lunch programs across all district locations, organized into three distinct lots: Lot 1 includes juice box products in assorted 100% juice, no sugar added formulations with aseptic shelf-stable packaging and estimated annual servings ranging from 640,000 to 4,600,000 units; Lot 2 encompasses bottled purified drinking water in 16.9-ounce bottles with 350,000 estimated annual servings; and Lot 3 covers dairy-free milk alternatives in vanilla and chocolate flavors with 25,000 estimated annual servings. All beverages must comply with USDA requirements, meet specific nutritional standards, be nut-free, contain no preservatives and no artificial colors, and be F.O.B. Destination with shipping included in unit pricing. Suppliers must maintain a Grade "A" health rating certificate from the Southern Nevada Health Department or equivalent, submit nutritional analysis and product specification sheets, comply with Buy America requirements, and deliver to the Food Service Warehouse at 6350 East Tropical Parkway, Las Vegas, between 7:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, meeting a requirement to deliver up to 99 percent of estimated quantities within 30 days of purchase order receipt. The contract term is one year from award with the District reserving the right to extend for six additional one-year periods based on satisfactory performance, and award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a lot, item-by-item, or entire RFP basis as determined in the District's best interest.

Prospective suppliers must complete and submit the Supplier Application/Update Form, Form W-9, Public Disclosure Form certifying no conflicts of interest with District employees or board members, Supplier Federal 2 CFR 200 Certifications Form addressing compliance with federal procurement requirements including prohibitions on Israel boycotts and equal employment opportunity standards, and Supplier Contact List Designation Form identifying authorized business contacts. The District encourages participation from minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, and veteran-owned businesses as identified on the Supplier Application/Update Form, though no specific set-asides or restrictions limiting competition to particular business categories are established. Responses may be submitted electronically via Euna Procurement at https://ccsd.bonfirehub.com or by hard copy to the Director of Purchasing and Warehousing at 4212 Eucalyptus Avenue, Building #7, Las Vegas, Nevada 89121, with all pricing submitted via district-provided bid tables that include a Balance of Line discount provision allowing the District to add new items or replacement models after contract award not to exceed $250,000 in total BOL purchases. While no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the procurement documents, the estimated annual servings across all three lots indicate substantial procurement volume with pricing structured on both full truckload and less than truckload delivery scenarios. The District reserves the right to request product samples or conduct food testing on a no-charge basis before award and may negotiate with responsive bidders or award without negotiations as determined in its best interest.
