FPS pizza bid 2025-26 SY

Farmington Public Schools in Macomb County, Michigan, is seeking bids for a fresh pizza procurement contract for the 2025-2026 school year through ITB #2025001. The district requires fresh-made pizzas with both 51% whole grain and traditional crusts in cheese and pepperoni varieties to be delivered to 16 school locations (8 secondary and 8 elementary). The anticipated volume is approximately 47,000 pizzas total, with 15,000 for secondary locations and 32,000 for elementary locations. Vendors must provide products meeting specific nutritional standards, including 100% mozzarella or cheese blend, pepperoni, and compliance with state and federal nutrition requirements. The bid evaluation will consider multiple criteria, including price, product taste, delivery capabilities, production facilities, and name-brand appeal. Sealed bids are due by 1:00 P.M. local time on Friday, April 21, 2025, at the Farmington Public Schools Administration Building located at 33000 Freedom Road, Farmington, MI 48336-2338.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to submit several mandatory documents, including a Nutrient Analysis Data Sheet, Familial Relationship Disclosure form, and Iran Linked Business Affidavit. The contract period is for the 2025-2026 school year with potential renewal options for two additional one-year periods. The district emphasizes domestic product sourcing under federal Child Nutrition Program guidelines and requires vendors to certify the percentage of US content in their products. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a significant annual food service contract value given the volume of pizzas required. Vendors must demonstrate capability to consistently deliver fresh, high-quality pizzas that meet nutritional standards across multiple school locations. All bidders must sign in at the administration building and receive an ID badge, and no oral, telephonic, telegraphic, or facsimile proposals will be considered.
