About this opportunity
The Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) Food & Nutrition department is seeking a local produce processing contractor to handle both processed and whole produce for their summer food program and 2018-2019 school year. The RFP solicits a processing facility capable of handling a diverse product list including cucumber slices, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, kohlrabi, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, and green beans, with weekly quantities ranging from 40 to 900 cases. Vendors must provide detailed processing services, including specific cutting dimensions, packaging specifications, and quality standards, with a guaranteed minimum 98% fill rate. Evaluation criteria include cost (40%), organizational service capabilities (20%), organizational qualifications (20%), diverse-owned business certification (10%), and references (10%). Key submission deadlines include written questions due by January 26, 2018, proposal submissions due by February 8, 2018 at 2:00 PM CST, and anticipated contract recommendation on February 13, 2018. The contract term runs from June 11, 2018 through June 7, 2019, with potential two one-year extensions.
The solicitation provides opportunities for diverse-owned businesses, offering a 5% preference for vendors certified by the Wisconsin Supplier Diversity Program or participating in the Wisconsin Diversity Procurement Network. Contractors must maintain commercial liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 and provide a HACCP food safety plan. Specific qualification requirements include compliance with USDA Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) standards, demonstrated through a comprehensive audit checklist evaluating food safety protocols across seven major elements. While no specific budget range is disclosed, pricing will be determined by the cost of raw product plus a per-case markup for processing, handling, packaging, and delivery. The district reserves the right to reject any proposals, negotiate terms, or award contracts to multiple proposers. Potential vendors must be prepared to potentially undergo interviews, site visits, and product demonstrations as part of the selection process, with all proposed prices remaining fixed for 60 days from the proposal due date.
