Solicitation # USBE-JB26254-RFP
The Utah State Board of Education is seeking to establish one-year cooperative contracts with qualified small local beef and tree fruit producers to increase access to local markets for Utah School Food Authorities. The solicitation is divided into five product categories: raw ground beef chubs, raw ground beef pre-formed patties, fresh whole tree fruit, frozen sliced or diced tree fruit, and dried tree fruit. To be eligible, 100 percent of the products must be raised, grown, or processed within 400 miles of Logan, Blanding, or St. George, Utah. Additionally, products must be processed in state or federally inspected facilities and comply with Buy American requirements for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The procurement process utilizes a multi-stage evaluation consisting of a pass/fail review of mandatory minimum requirements, a technical evaluation of business and distribution capabilities, and an independent cost evaluation for each product category. Multiple awards will be granted to all offerors who meet or exceed the minimum evaluation threshold. Awarded vendors will coordinate directly with school food authorities regarding orders and invoicing, while the Utah State Board of Education does not guarantee specific purchase volumes. Contractors are required to provide Child Nutrition labels or product formulation statements for processed goods and must maintain insurance policies with an AM Best rating of A-VIII or better.
