CN1057N-2 Bread Products

Onslow County Schools is seeking bread products through a Request for Bid (RFB) designated as CN1057N-2, targeting four specific bread product categories: hamburger buns, hot dog buns, loaf bread, and ciabatta bread. The procurement involves estimated quantities of 425,000 hamburger buns, 60,000 hot dog buns, 80,000 loaves of bread, and 40,000 ciabatta bread units for their school nutrition program. Vendors must provide products that meet strict nutritional requirements, including being whole grain rich, containing 100-200 calories per serving, and having limited saturated fat and sodium content. The contract will be effective from the date of award through July 30, 2025, with potential extensions for up to four additional years. Bidders are required to submit comprehensive documentation including sanitation inspection reports, HACCP plans, nutrition labels, and food recall procedures. Daily deliveries are mandated Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to multiple school sites, with specific packaging, temperature, and shelf-life requirements. The bid is due by May 28, 2024, and Onslow County Schools reserves the right to adjust quantities, award contracts on a split or lump sum basis, and terminate the contract with proper notice.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors are identified in the provided documentation. The contract is structured as a term contract without guaranteed minimum or maximum purchase quantities, which suggests flexibility for potential vendors. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the substantial estimated quantities (425,000 hamburger buns, 60,000 hot dog buns, 80,000 loaves, 40,000 ciabatta units) indicate a significant potential contract value. Vendors must demonstrate capability to meet comprehensive nutritional standards, food safety protocols, and consistent delivery requirements across multiple school locations. The procurement approach suggests Onslow County Schools is seeking a reliable, nutritionally compliant bread product supplier capable of meeting the diverse needs of their school nutrition program with consistent quality and service.
