District Wide Snack Vending Service

North East Independent School District (NEISD) is soliciting a district‑wide snack vending service that complies with USDA nutrition standards and provides full‑service vending (installation, stocking, maintenance, repair, reporting, and removal) at approximately 67 school locations plus 7‑10 satellite facilities. The contract will run an initial three‑year term with two optional one‑year renewals (maximum five years). Vendors must supply snack‑only machines (no beverages) for middle and high schools (timed operation) and teacher‑lounge machines for elementary schools. All snack items must meet strict calorie, sodium, fat, and sugar limits and be pre‑approved by the Executive Director of School Nutrition Services. Vendors are responsible for 24‑hour service calls, monthly sales reporting, and remitting a commission on gross sales to the district. The solicitation requires extensive documentation (insurance, conflict‑of‑interest, hold‑harmless, fingerprinting, nutrition labels, remuneration schedule, etc.).
