Itineris Early College High School is soliciting proposals for Food Service Management under solicitation number RA27-13, with a fixed-price contract structure and an estimated value between $98,395.14 and $114,908.65. Proposals must be submitted in both paper and electronic formats to the school’s address in West Jordan, Utah, no later than August 24, 2026, at 9:00 AM MDT, with electronic submissions limited to a single 1GB file. All questions must be directed via email to amanda.luong@iechs.org and must be received by August 6, 2026, at 5:00 PM MDT. The contract term is one year, beginning October 1, 2026, with the possibility of up to four one-year renewals by mutual written agreement and approval, but no automatic renewals are permitted. The evaluation process is based on a trade-off approach, not lowest price technically acceptable, and allocates a total of 100 points across cost (30 points), personnel management (20 points), SFA experience in child nutrition (20 points), service capability (15 points), quality assurance (10 points), and student and staff engagement (5 points), despite requiring cost to be weighted at least 51% under state policy. Contractors must comply with federal and state regulations including USDA’s 7 CFR Part 226, Title VI/VII, ADA, and Utah’s E-Verify requirements, and must not have any current debarments or conflicts of interest. All personnel require background checks, and confidentiality and work product ownership clauses stipulate that all deliverables become state property. The contract prohibits subcontracting or assignment without written approval, requires strict adherence to deadlines, and mandates compliance with anti-boycott provisions under Utah law. Inspections occur at the delivery destination with acceptance reserved solely to the State Entity, and reimbursement requires detailed monthly documentation. There is no designated Contracting Officer’s Representative or payment office information provided, and while federal funding oversight is implied through references to 2 CFR Part 200 and CFDA numbers, specific accounting codes are not included. The proposal must include narrative components as specified and incorporate required attachments such as the Projected Operating Costs and Invoice Example, all submitted using state-provided forms only.
