RFQ 27/05 – Nutrition Services Equipment

This RFQ seeks the acquisition of commercial‑grade nutrition‑services equipment for Columbia Public Schools, covering refrigeration, cooking, and cleaning assets. The procurement is organized as a bid tab where multiple vendors may submit unit‑price quotes for each line item, but many responded with “NO BID,” indicating limited competition on several items. The equipment list includes a single‑sided milk cooler, a double‑door reach‑in refrigerator, a double‑gas steamer, a ventless convection oven, a two‑door freezer, walk‑behind floor scrubbers (two units), and a three‑door pass‑thru refrigerator. Unit costs range from about $3 k to $16 k, with optional two‑year extended warranties noted for several items. No award data, contract term dates, or agency contact details appear in the excerpt. • Scope: purchase of capital kitchen equipment for school nutrition services. • Procurement format: open bid‑tab (multiple vendors, unit‑price pricing). • Estimated total equipment cost (based on listed unit prices): roughly $82,000.
