Description
The School District of Pickens County, SC is seeking a qualified processor to procure, process, and distribute USDA‑donated commodity foods—primarily beef products—for the 2022‑2023 school year. Bidders must submit both a technical proposal (company background, licensing, insurance, nutrition data, CN‑label, SEPDS, processing‑agreement proof) and a cost proposal (price sheets for each line‑item, with “ALT” markings for any substitute products). The contract requires separate handling of USDA‑donated meat from the processor’s own inventory, compliance with Child Nutrition meal‑pattern nutrition limits, and delivery through the district’s designated distributors (US Foods for “NOI” items and Gold Star for “FFS” items). Pricing will be evaluated on net price after any commercial‑price discounts.
• Supply USDA‑commodity beef items (24 SKUs) in both commercial‑equivalent and commodity‑processed formats, meeting strict nutrition, labeling, and shelf‑life (365‑day) requirements.
• Provide full documentation: licenses, insurance COI, nutrition facts, CN‑labels, SEPDS, and proof of an approved processing agreement.
• Deliver products within the contract window of July 1 2022 – June 30 2023 using the district’s specified distributors; keep USDA‑donated meat separate from proprietary product streams.
• Pricing must be submitted on the provided Excel sheets; alternate products may be offered if clearly marked “ALT” and nutritionally equivalent.
• No product samples required unless requested after award; electronic invoices accepted.
