Granola, Plain or Flavored, WG, Individual Serving

The Clark County School District in Nevada is seeking suppliers for plain or flavored whole grain granola in individual serving sizes for student meals in breakfast and lunch programs. The solicitation, numbered 26012AIT, aims to establish suppliers and spend authorization for potential granola purchases throughout the district. The granola must meet specific nutritional requirements, including being nut-free, containing 6 grams or less of added sugar per dry ounce, under 100mg of sodium, and between 100-150 calories. The estimated annual volume is 500,000 servings, with vendors required to provide detailed pricing for full truckload (FTL) and less than truckload (LTL) delivery options. The Request for Proposal (RFP) is scheduled to open on August 7, 2025, with electronic submissions preferred through Euna Procurement or hard copy submissions accepted. The initial contract term is one year, with the District reserving the right to extend the contract for six additional one-year periods, contingent on satisfactory performance.

The procurement opportunity appears to be open to various suppliers, with the district encouraging participation from diverse business types, including minority, veteran, women, and disabled-owned businesses. Suppliers must complete several compliance documents, including a Supplier Federal 2CFR200 Certification Form, which requires agreement to multiple state and federal regulatory requirements. The Public Disclosure Form mandates transparency regarding potential conflicts of interest, and suppliers must certify they are not current district employees or have not been employees within the past year. The total potential spending for balance of line (BOL) purchases is capped at $250,000, with suppliers encouraged to provide a fixed discount for potential future item additions or product replacements. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with National School Lunch Program requirements, provide nutritional analysis, and be prepared to deliver 10% of estimated quantities within 30 business days of contract award. The district will evaluate responses based on factors including price, conformity to specifications, financial ability, previous performance, and other objective criteria.
