The procurement seeks 100% whole grain bread products, specifically 2,600 packages of hamburger buns (12-count, 4"), 1,200 packages of hot dog buns (12-count, 6"), and 400 packages of bread loaves (1-1/2 lb).

Bidders must submit pricing per dozen for each product type and indicate delivery costs to six district locations, including elementary schools, middle school, and high school. The district will award the contract based primarily on price, reserving the right to select multiple or a single vendor. Bid evaluation will include completed forms such as campaign contribution disclosure, conflict of interest statement, and vendor certification, with pricing escalation subject to strict documentation and approval requirements.

The procurement includes preferential considerations for New Mexico businesses, offering an 8% preference for in-state resident businesses or Native American resident businesses, and a 10% preference for resident veteran businesses, with required certification. Federal regulatory requirements include compliance with the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment for contracts exceeding $100,000 and adherence to the "Buy American" provision, which mandates that products be manufactured in the United States or eligible countries when practicable and cost-effective. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the multi-year contract structure allows for potential renewals up to three additional one-year terms, totaling a maximum contract period of four years. Bidders must demonstrate capability to deliver bread products consistently across multiple district locations and comply with all specified federal and state procurement regulations.
