The contract is intended to be for one year, with the possibility of renewal through June 30, 2027, contingent upon annual purchase orders. The scope of work includes providing consistent and timely delivery of quality fresh, frozen, or dry local food items to the TUSD Food Services Central Warehouse.

The district also seeks local food items to enhance its catering services. Key specifications for food items include no preservatives like BHT, BHA, or artificial colors/flavors, and a preference for vegetarian/vegan options. Vendors must provide current specification sheets, nutrient facts, ingredients, and product formulation statements. Deliveries are to be made to the TUSD Food Services Central Warehouse during specified receiving hours, and no fuel surcharges or added delivery charges will be accepted. Pricing must remain firm for the initial contract term, with provisions for price adjustments under specific conditions.
