Direct Commodity - Shelf Stable Cheese

The City of New Haven’s Board of Education Food Service is seeking qualified vendors to supply shelf‑stable cheese products directly from manufacturers for the 2026 summer and 2026‑2027 school year. The contract will cover roughly 224 service days and serve between 17,500 and 19,000 meals per day across the New Haven Public Schools Child Nutrition Program. Vendors must submit a two‑part response (technical proposal and separate price proposal) via the OpenGov e‑procurement portal. A mandatory pre‑proposal virtual meeting is scheduled, and all questions must be submitted by the stated deadline. The award will be based on technical capability, MWBE participation, pricing, and compliance with city living‑wage and insurance requirements.
