This contract concerns the Columbia Public School District’s pizza program, covering the supply of frozen pizza crusts, toppings, sauces, low‑sodium mozzarella cheese, pizza boxes, and a suite of kitchen equipment needed for middle‑school and high‑school lunch service. The award was granted to Smart Mouth Pizza (Atlanta, GA), which will provide both consumables and equipment.
