Description
The Beaufort County Schools Nutrition Services is seeking bids for milk and dairy products for the period of August 1, 2026, to July 31, 2027, with an option to extend for an additional four years. The bid requires the distributor to provide the best manufacturer or packer "cost" pricing by item, including freight, for the longest lock-in period. The distributor must also comply with the "Buy American" provision and provide a current Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) summary.
Some key points to consider:
* The distributor must have a minimum of one year of experience in commercial food warehousing and delivery.
* The distributor must maintain all necessary insurance, including comprehensive general liability insurance, property damage insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and automobile liability insurance.
* The distributor must provide evidence of required insurance and maintain a certificate of authority from the Secretary of State of North Carolina.
* The bid award method is firm unit price by line item specification, where the award is given to the distributor with the lowest price per serving per line item.
* The contract may be terminated if the distributor fails to fulfill its obligations, and the school district reserves the right to enforce performance in any manner prescribed by law.
