The Long County School Food Authority in the state of Georgia is requesting sealed bids for a school nutrition food contract for the 2024-2025 school year. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) seeks to identify and select one or more vendors to provide a wide variety of food products, including canned fruits and vegetables, dairy items, frozen foods, and dry goods. The IFB provides detailed specifications and preferred pack sizes for over 300 line items, and requires vendors to submit unit costs for each item. The initial contract term is from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, with the option to renew for up to 4 additional 1-year terms. Bids are due by June 3, 2024 at 2:30 PM, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s) meeting all terms and specifications.

The IFB does not indicate any set-asides or preferences for certain types of organizations, and the current incumbent vendor is not identified. The food items are to be funded through the school nutrition program budget, but specific funding amounts and sources are not provided. The contract award is contingent upon available budget funds and approval of the Long County Board of Education. The IFB contains standard legal terms and conditions for the school district's procurement of these essential food products and services.
