Description

Richmond County Public Schools (RCPS) is soliciting proposals from qualified vendors to supply USDA‑compliant, shelf‑stable meal kits for students during the 2026 summer break. The contract will cover the production, packaging, and delivery of ready‑to‑eat meals that meet nutritional standards and can be stored without refrigeration. Vendors must demonstrate capability to meet food safety regulations, handle bulk orders, and coordinate logistics to the school district’s designated site in Warsaw, VA. • Provide USDA‑approved shelf‑stable meal kits for the entire summer period. • Ensure all meals meet federal nutrition guidelines for K‑12 students. • Package meals for easy distribution and storage; deliver to RCPS facilities by the contract deadline. • Demonstrate capacity to handle large‑volume orders and maintain quality control. • Offer competitive pricing and reliable supply chain management.

Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

The contract is likely to be sizable because it covers an entire school district’s summer meal program. Assuming 1,000‑2,000 students, each receiving a daily meal for roughly 8 weeks, the total volume could reach 500,000‑1,000,000 meals. At an estimated $0.40‑$0.60 per meal (including packaging and delivery), the contract value may fall between $200,000 and $600,000. Additional costs for compliance reporting and logistics could push the high end higher, so a realistic range is $200 k–$500 k.
