Description
Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is issuing an RFP to obtain qualified vendors that can supply and deliver a broad range of perishable food items—including fresh produce, bread (fresh, refrigerated, frozen), dairy, milk alternatives, sandwiches, salads, juices, and herbs—to its schools and food‑truck locations across the Los Angeles area. The district will manage the procurement through SAP Ariba, requiring electronic registration, question submission, and bid upload. Vendors must be able to meet food‑safety standards, provide reliable logistics for daily deliveries, and support the district’s gas‑powered food‑truck program.
• Supplies include fresh, refrigerated, and frozen bakery items, dairy and soy‑milk products, ready‑to‑eat sandwiches, salads, juices, and fresh herbs.
• All communications, questions, and final proposals are to be submitted via the Ariba Business Network; a pre‑proposal Zoom session is optional on 4 Mar 2026.
• Contract length is set at 60 days with a total estimated value of approximately $400 million, indicating a large‑scale, high‑volume sourcing effort.
