Manchester Public Schools issued an open solicitation (RFP 024‑011) for the procurement and inside‑delivery of a broad range of food‑service paper products to all of its schools for the FY 2024‑2025 period. Vendors were required to submit net, unit‑price proposals, comply with Buy‑American and living‑wage requirements, and provide extensive insurance and certification documentation. The contract term runs from July 1 2024 to June 30 2025 with the possibility of up to two one‑year extensions.
