This contract opportunity issued by the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) in North Carolina is for the purchase of 100% Juice Concentrate, for frozen slushy, for four WCPSS High Schools, with the option to expand to a maximum of all 31 high schools. The successful bidder will be required to supply the juice concentrate along with dispensers for each participating school and provide training to school staff on the use, set up, and cleaning of the dispensers.

Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience performing similar duties and meet all insurance and regulatory requirements. The bids are due by August 27, 2024 at 2:00 PM ET, and WCPSS intends to award a one-year term contract with the option to renew for three additional years.

WCPSS reserves the right to negotiate better pricing with the selected vendor and will not accept bids from vendors listed on state or federal debarment registries. The procurement is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The contract value is not explicitly stated, but WCPSS may adjust the scope to include all 31 high schools, potentially increasing the total contract value.
