About this opportunity

Seminole County Public Schools issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) #24250039B-VG for commercial immersion blenders and food processors for the Red Apple Dining Department, seeking to procure 59 units of specialized food preparation equipment. The solicitation requires NSF-certified equipment from a single manufacturer, with specific model requirements including a Sammic Immersion Blender & Whisk Combo (MB-31) and a Sammic Combi Vegetable Prep Cutter (CK-38V). Key procurement dates include a voluntary pre-solicitation meeting on November 12, 2024, a question deadline on November 13, 2024, and bid submissions due by 1:00 PM EST on November 21, 2024, via the VendorLink portal. Evaluation criteria focus on identifying the lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s), with specific requirements for equipment specifications, warranty (minimum two-year), and compliance with food service safety standards. The bid allows for multiple award methodologies, including awarding all or none, by lot, by partial lot, or by individual item, with pricing to be quoted FOB inside delivery to Seminole County, Florida.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. Eleven vendors submitted bids, including Allure Hospitality Supplier Inc, Big Bend Restaurant Supply, International Restaurant Distributors, and others from various states. The procurement process resulted in a recommended award to International Restaurant Distributors of Apopka, Florida, with a total estimated fiscal impact of $298,186 for the three-year contract term from January 21, 2025, through January 20, 2028, and an optional two-year renewal period. The contract allows for as-needed purchases to replace existing equipment, with funding sourced from the Red Apple Dining department. The bid tabulation sheet revealed detailed pricing per unit, with the School Board reserving the right to make multiple awards and emphasizing that listed quantities represent anticipated needs without guaranteeing specific purchase volumes. A board approval document indicates unanimous support for the contract award during the January 21, 2025 meeting.
