Nutrition Services Paper & Disposables

Weld County School District 6 (WCSD6) is soliciting bids for a comprehensive Paper and Disposables procurement for its Nutrition Services department, covering the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The bid (#WCSD6-25-796-0325) seeks qualified vendors to supply approximately 50 different paper and disposable products including bags, coffee cups, containers, gloves, mop heads, napkins, straws, trays, and plastic utensils. The procurement targets vendors capable of delivering products to the district's Nutrition Services location at 2508 4th Ave, Greeley, CO 80631, with a strong preference for regional representation. Bids are due electronically by 2:00 PM on Monday, April 14, 2025, with the district emphasizing that pricing will not be the sole evaluation criterion - vendor performance and service history will also be considered. The bid sheet provides a structured format for vendors to propose specific item numbers, brand specifications, case pack sizes, case prices, and product lead times, with the understanding that listed quantities are approximate and do not guarantee purchase volumes.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The district encourages cooperative purchasing with other governmental jurisdictions and requires vendors to be willing to offer identical pricing to additional government agencies. Vendors must certify that their bid is submitted without prior understanding or collusive agreements with other bidders. Payment will be accepted via Visa, and interested vendors can contact the project manager, Robert Arizmendi (Nutrition Procurement Specialist), at 970-348-6654 or Rarizmendi@greeleyschools.org for additional information. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the bid suggests a potentially significant annual contract value for the selected vendor(s). The contract term is explicitly defined from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, with the district reserving the right to make purchasing decisions on an "as-needed" basis.
