RFP 027-04 Food Service Paper Goods and Disposable Products

The goal of the Meriden Public Schools Food and Nutrition Services Program is to ensure healthy meals are served in a safe cafeteria environment. In the 2025-2026 school year, there were 8,200 enrolled students across 13 school sites. All school sites have elected the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) Community Eligibility Provision, which is a non-pricing meal service option that allows Meriden Public Schools to serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students.

To continue uninterrupted service to students, Meriden Public Schools seeks to partner with a vendor that can supply and deliver a variety of Food Service paper goods and disposable products.

Successful performance under this contract will result in dependable access to high-quality products for Meriden Public Schools, enabling uninterrupted meal service. Meriden Public Schools will work collaboratively with the selected vendor to maintain performance outcomes so that all school sites can consistently serve their students.
