Description
This award notice documents the selection of multiple vendors to supply a comprehensive catalog of frozen food products for Chesapeake Public Schools’ nutrition program. The solicitation (Bid #67‑2223) was broken down into individual line‑item awards, each specifying a vendor, product description, and net unit price. The agency awarded 86 distinct frozen‑food SKUs across categories such as meats, bakery items, fruits, vegetables, dairy desserts, and prepared meals. Because the award is item‑by‑item, the contract is effectively a series of unit‑price agreements rather than a single lump‑sum deal.
• Scope: Provision of frozen food items (meats, breads, pastries, fruits, vegetables, desserts, etc.) for K‑12 school meals in Chesapeake, VA.
• Procurement method: Full and open competition with multiple vendors each winning specific SKUs; unit‑price pricing listed for each award.
• Vendor landscape: 18 unique vendors received awards, ranging from large national manufacturers (Gold Star Foods, Cargill) to regional distributors (Holt Paper & Chemical, JSB Industries).
• Financials: Unit net prices are provided (range $12.67‑$110.34 per case) but total contract value is not disclosed.
• Contact: Mavis Agbakpe, VCA, Buyer, (757) 547‑0265, Chesapeake Public Schools Purchasing Department.
