RFP#020124NGC Milk and Dairy products

This state and local contracting opportunity is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the White County School Food Authority (SFA) in Georgia for the procurement of milk and dairy products for the school nutrition programs in Wilcox County and Colquitt City. The RFP seeks to identify and select one or more vendors to provide a variety of milk and dairy items, including flavored milk, 1% low-fat milk, fat-free milk, buttermilk, sour cream, and cottage cheese. The initial contract term is from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, with the option to extend up to three months and renew annually for up to four additional one-year terms. Pricing for the milk and dairy products must remain firm throughout the contract period, with an escalation/de-escalation clause based on changes in raw milk prices. The SFA will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor(s) meeting the RFP requirements, which include the ability to deliver daily to each school, allow cafeteria managers to place orders daily for the next day, handle damaged cartons or dirty crates, and provide nutritional analysis for each product.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is also no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not specify an award value or budget range, but it suggests this is an ongoing or recurring bid for these school districts to secure milk and dairy products for their nutrition programs.
