The White County School Nutrition program in Georgia is seeking bids for paper and disposable goods for the 2024-2025 school year through an Invitation for Bid (IFB). This contract opportunity is open to vendors to submit sealed bids by April 30, 2024, which will be opened the same day. The contract will be a firm fixed price agreement with a term of July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, with the option to renew for up to 4 additional 1-year terms. The IFB outlines detailed specifications for approved and equivalent products across various categories such as gloves, trays, cleaning supplies, napkins and paper towels, can liners, pan liners, cutlery, cups and lids, straws, bowls and lids, lunch trays, bags, foils and wraps, and kitchen supplies. The award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s) that meet all terms and specifications of the IFB. Additionally, 4 other Northeast Georgia counties are piggybacking on this IFB and may order from the awarded vendor(s) as well.

The IFB does not mention any set-asides or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is also no information provided about incumbent vendors or contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB does not specify a budget range or anticipated award value, but it does outline pricing terms including provisions for price escalation and de-escalation.
