Washington County School District is requesting bids on kitchen smallwares and small equipment for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program for the 2026-27 school year, with proposals due July 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. MDT via BONFIRE. This is a one-time purchase contract with no renewal options.

The scope covers approximately 400+ line items across multiple product categories including cutting tools, protective apparel, bowls and colanders, food storage containers, measuring equipment, cookware, utensils, small appliances, and general kitchen items. Notable quantities include 277 plastic tongs (6"), 184 plastic spoons (8"), 159 salad bar containers in various depths and sizes, 107 full-size sheet pans, and specialty items such as Cambro salad bar equipment and combi oven accessories. All products must be equal or equivalent to items specified in the bid table. Delivery is to the WCSD Child Nutrition Warehouse located at 811 E Brigham Road, Building B, St George, Utah 84790, with receiving hours Monday through Friday 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The district's goal is to award as an aggregate to a single vendor, though it reserves the right to award multiple vendors where price and item availability warrant such action. Price accounts for 60 percent of the award decision, calculated on lowest-total-price methodology. Item Quality represents 25 percent, with preference for durable items with applicable warranties. Delivery Capability comprises 10 percent based on meeting scheduled delivery requirements. Vendor References and Past Performance account for 5 percent, requiring at least three current or recent institutional references, with potential preference for vendors maintaining local distribution centers. State contracts and education pricing must be offered on all bids.

Vendors must submit debarment and anti-lobbying certifications and comply with USDA requirements under 7 CFR 210, 220, 225, and 250; 2 CFR Part 200; and Civil Rights requirements.
