Movement School South Fulton, a school food authority in Atlanta, Georgia, is requesting proposals from a Food Service Management Company to operate nutrition programs for the 2026–27 school year under RFP issued June 17, with proposals due July 17, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. The issuer will select either a cost-reimbursable or fixed meal price proposal structure. Offerors must be incorporated or licensed to do business in Georgia and appear on the Georgia Department of Education's FSMC vendor list.

The scope encompasses comprehensive food service management for approximately 390 elementary school students, including National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and a la carte services. The awardee must comply with USDA regulations, state and local laws, USDA commodity utilization requirements, health and sanitation standards, employee management, facility use, insurance coverage, and extensive record-keeping.

The estimated food service budget totals $291,107.08 in revenues, with $108,155.73 allocated to breakfast meal rate fees and $182,951.34 to lunch meal rate fees. The contract runs from July 31, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal terms. Meal participation is projected at 65% free meals, 15% reduced-price meals, and 20% paid meals.

Evaluation uses a 100-point weighted scale: 35 points for cost and financial proposal, 25 points for service capability plan, 10 points for experience and references, 5 points each for familiarity with school systems and regulations, financial stability and business practices, accounting and reporting systems, personnel management, innovation, and student/staff/patron involvement. A minimum cut-off score will be established in advance by the SFA.

Proposers must submit two copies via US Postal Service, in person, or by courier; email and fax are not accepted. Questions are due June 30 at noon. A pre-proposal meeting with virtual facility walkthrough is scheduled for June 24 at 11:00 a.m. Proposal opening occurs July 17 at 2:00 p.m. via Zoom. Offerors must provide certified public accountant financial statements, evidence of comparable school nutrition program operations, and references from similar school systems.
