Description

Poudre School District is soliciting bids for fresh fruits and vegetables for the period covering December 1, 2026, through January 28, 2027. The attached cost proposal worksheets list requested items, quantities, grades, packaging, and pricing fields. Vendors must stamp individual bags with a use-by date and meet the specified produce quality and delivery requirements. Pricing for Colorado-grown produce is limited to four vendors prequalified under a separate qualification process; other vendors may bid on items in the general produce worksheet. Deliveries must be made to the District's Child Nutrition Warehouse on specified delivery days and within the approved delivery window. Vendors must maintain an office and distribution center within 90 miles of Fort Collins, provide a dedicated sales representative, maintain a 98% order/delivery fill rate, and submit an approved HACCP and recall procedures plan. The bid package requires completed cost proposal worksheets, a signed bid certification, and three Colorado K-12 public school district references. Insurance certificates are required before contract approval and signing, not with the bid response.
