The contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods, and is contingent on written approval by the Georgia Department of Education. The selected Food Service Management Company must operate under a fixed meal price proposal structure, proposing fixed rates per meal for breakfast, lunch, snacks, à la carte, and adult meals. Current federal reimbursement rates are $4.69 for lunch and $0.46 for USDA commodity value, totaling $5.15 per meal equivalency. Projected annual revenues total approximately $364,495, comprising federal and state reimbursement of $343,995 and cash sales of $20,500, with estimated USDA commodity usage of $20,000.

The FSMC must carry comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000, automobile liability of $250,000, statutory workers' compensation, and excess umbrella liability of $1,000,000. The contract is neither a cost-plus-percentage-of-income nor cost-plus-percentage-of-cost structure, as required by USDA regulations.

Evaluation criteria total 100 points: meal pattern quality (14 points), cost and financial proposal (15 points), innovation (9 points), student and staff involvement (9 points), financial condition and stability (8 points), accounting and reporting systems (8 points), promotion of school food services (8 points), service capability plan (8 points), personnel management (7 points), and experience and references (7 points).
