Processed USDA Foods & Commercial Food Products

The Palmdale School District (PSD) seeks qualified food‑service distributors to provide a broad range of processed USDA foods and commercial food products on a firm‑fixed‑price basis for delivery to its central warehouse. The contract will be a one‑year base period (July 1 2026 – June 30 2027) with up to two optional one‑year renewals, and the District may award portions of the solicitation to multiple vendors (USDA foods separate from commercial equivalents). Vendors must meet strict delivery, temperature‑control, fill‑rate, and food‑safety requirements, and must certify compliance with Buy‑American, civil‑rights, and other federal/state regulations. • Supply, transport, and unload a comprehensive list of grocery, frozen, canned, and specialty items (see detailed quotation sheets). • Provide fixed, firm unit prices (FOB Destination) with no separate freight or drayage charges. • Meet a 99.5 % fill‑rate guarantee, maintain refrigerated/frozen transport, and submit monthly usage reports and product certifications.
