RFP No. 07-27, Child Nutrition Software for Food Services

Santa Ana Unified School District is seeking a comprehensive, cloud‑based child‑nutrition software solution to manage all facets of its food‑service operations, including inventory, ordering, point‑of‑sale, menu planning, nutrition reporting, and online payments. The District will evaluate proposals on functional fit, implementation plan, experience, cybersecurity, and cost. Vendors must submit detailed pricing for each optional module (A‑F) and can propose a phased or bundled approach. The contract is for an initial one‑year term with up to four additional one‑year renewals, and the solution must integrate with the district’s Aeries SIS and Business Plus ERP systems. • Required modules span inventory, POS, menu management, accounting, and web payment. • Implementation must begin by the start of the 2027‑28 school year and cannot cut over during August‑September. • All communications, addenda, and question responses are handled through the PlanetBids portal; the final sealed proposal is due September 22, 2026.
