Food Services: Groceries/Restaurants and Other Related Services

The Coppell Independent School District (CISD) is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to expand its vendor list for food services, including prepared foods and retail food offerings. The scope of the RFP includes prepared foods for catering, pickup, and delivery, as well as retail foods available at locations and wholesale suppliers. The district is seeking qualified suppliers to support its operations. Vendors who responded in previous years do not need to reapply unless they wish to update their information. The RFP is intended to expand CISD's current vendor list to ensure access to a broad and qualified pool of suppliers. Some key requirements for vendors include: submitting a detailed proposal, including product descriptions, pricing, and compliance with all health and safety standards; providing any relevant certifications, licenses, or supporting documents; and accepting purchase orders. • Key highlights of the RFP include the requirement for vendors to provide food services, including prepared and retail foods, to the district. • Vendors must comply with all health and safety standards and provide relevant certifications and licenses. • The district reserves the right to award contracts to multiple vendors and to cancel or amend the RFP at any time. • Vendors must also comply with various federal and state regulations, including those related to lobbying, suspension, and debarment.
