Description

The Newark Board of Education is seeking a single catering provider to deliver full‑service meals for a wide variety of school‑district events over a two‑year period (June 1 2026 – May 31 2028). The contractor must supply pork‑free menus, include vegetarian/vegan/religious options, and handle inside delivery, set‑up, and removal at roughly 71 school locations. Pricing is capped per‑person ($7 breakfast, $10 lunch, $15 dinner) and the award will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid. The solicitation is electronic‑only via the EC‑Sourcing platform, with a pre‑bid virtual meeting on March 5 and a bid deadline of March 20, 2026.

Budget estimate

$1,500,000 – $2,500,000

Based on the per‑person caps (average $12 per meal) and an estimated 300 events per year with an average attendance of 300 guests, the district could order roughly 90,000 meals annually. At $12 each, that equals about $1.08 million per year, or roughly $2.2 million over the two‑year contract. Accounting for variation in event size, menu mix, and potential discounts, a realistic range is approximately $1.5 million to $2.5 million in total contract revenue.
