Description

Philadelphia’s School District is seeking a vendor to provide a comprehensive prepared‑meals program for its K‑12 schools and early‑childhood centers. The contractor must supply both frozen and fresh entrees, offer family‑style tray packaging as well as individually packaged meals, and execute one daily delivery to each of 113 K‑12 sites and 82 early‑childhood sites. Service will cover 180 regular school days plus 25 summer days, with an estimated total volume of roughly 433,000 meals (as corrected in Addendum #3) and additional unspecified K‑12 meals. Pricing must align with the existing vendor’s terms, and the vendor must comply with CACFP regulations for early‑childhood nutrition. • Deliver prepared breakfasts, lunches, and snacks to 195 locations daily (113 K‑12 + 82 early‑childhood). • Provide both family‑style (2‑ or 4‑serving trays) and individually packaged meals (frozen and fresh). • Meet CACFP standards and maintain a mix of one frozen entrée and one fresh item per day. • Align pricing with current contract terms; submit separate pricing for the two packaging options.

Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $10,000,000

The contract will serve roughly 433,000 meals annually (per the corrected quantity) plus additional K‑12 meals not quantified. Assuming an average reimbursement of $10‑$15 per meal (typical for large school‑district contracts), the base annual spend would be between $4.3 M and $6.5 M. Adding logistics, packaging variations, and the K‑12 component could push the total contract value to roughly $5 M‑$10 M. Therefore a realistic earnings range for a qualified vendor is in the low‑single‑digit millions.
