Tyson Prepared Foods (not to exceed $4,628,750.00 for SY 23-24)

Summary: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the extension of Bid 22-18, USDA Product Processing to to 1.) Brookwood Farms, Inc., 2.) Gold Creek Foods, LLC, 3.) Goodman Food Products dba Don Lee Farms, 4.) Jennie O Turkey Store Sales, LLC dba Hormel Foods 5.) JTM Provisions Co. Inc., 6.) Land O’ Lakes, Inc., 7.) Out of the Shell, LLC dba Yangs 5th Taste and 8.) Tyson Prepared Foods in the amount not to exceed $4,628,750.00 for SY 23-24. This request extends the agreement for all vendors listed above an additional year July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
Why: To ensure DCSD School Nutrition Services (SNS) provide healthy reimbursable meals to DeKalb County students.

USDA allows recipient agencies such as school districts to contract with State approved food processors to convert USDA commodities into a variety of convenient, ready-to-use end products. School Nutrition Services uses various USDA commodities for processing products such as whole chicken processed to roasted chicken, natural American and mozzarella cheese processed to cheese sauce and coarse ground beef processed to beef patties. This has increased menu options and acceptability for students. Food safety is maintained at the school level by limiting use of raw product.
Details: DCSD price provision allows price change at the extension/renewal anniversary commencing July 1, 2022. The vendor must supply the DCSD Purchasing Department with written proof from the manufacturer when (if) price changes occur. The written notification from the manufacturer may specify actual dollar changes or the change as a percentage.

School Nutrition Managers and Central Office personnel are provided a vendor complaint form (Quality Assurance Form). The form is used to evaluate vendor performance including accuracy and quality. This information is used to communicate with vendors, evaluate pricing, assess products, and monitor deliveries. These vendors met the assessment criteria.

Due to excellent level of service provided by these processors, School Nutrition Services (SNS) request to extend Bid 22-18 for an additional year with the same terms and conditions as original term contract from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. There is an average 6% price increase from the processors for 2023-2024 SY.

One of the nine initially approved vendors, Michael Foods’ contract will not be extended (renewed) due to the vendor no longer providing Item No.: 25 (Cheese Omelet). The product will be purchased through our approved commercial vendor, Bid No. 22-15 Temperature Control & Dry Products.

Bid 22-18 was initially approved by the Board on July 12, 2021, in the amount not to exceed $3,500,000.00. This is the second of 4 extensions (renewals) allowed.
Financial impact: There is no financial impact to the General Fund. School Nutrition Services is a self-supporting entity with revenue based on meal participation and supplemental sales. Funds will be paid from GL account 622.3100.563500.00062.8200.9990.8015.040.0000

Price Change Explanation
As we review your pricing for school year 23/24, it is necessary to make price adjustments due to several input
factors that we are realizing in our production costs.

    •    Inflation and Livestock summary

              o Inflation:
                    ▪ Manufactures will continue to see inflationary cost increases into 2023 due to Labor,
                        Freight/Fuel, Corrugate, Interest Rates and other Variable cost.
            o Pork:
                    ▪ Pork production in 2023 is projected to remain flat Y/Y on a per kill per day basis with
                        one less day. In 2023, flat to slightly lower production is likely to keep cutout near year
                        ago levels – EMI Express Markets, Inc.
            o Beef/Cattle:
                    ▪ Higher expected fed cattle market in late 2022 will likely tighten fed cattle supplies in
                        2023. Fewer cows are expected to be in the slaughter mix next year, which lowers beef
                        production in 2023 by 90 million pounds, a decline of 7% next year. – USDA.Gov -
                        Nov, 2022
            o Soy:
 USDA forecast yield at 50.2 for 22/23, down from 51.7 for 21/22. Ending stocks forecasted at 220M for
 22/23 vs. 274M for 21/22. Soybean export commitments up slightly YTD vs. year ago driven by weaker
 U.S. dollar and questionable Argentina planting season. – EMI Express Markets, Inc.

Terms & Conditions:
COMMERCIAL: Total Product Cost before USDA discount.
PTV: (Pass-Thru-Value) Dollar value of USDA donated food per case.
PROCESSING FEE (COMMODITY): USDA Commodity Fee-For-Service Pricing. Valid only on sales reported and validated via K12 Foodservice.


NOI PROCESS:
Distributors must billback against the commercial bid pricing. The distributor will be credited on a separate payment for the PTV after the distributor draws down the recipient agency's commodity balance
via K12 Foodservice.


NON-SUBSTITUTABLE CODES: "CLOSED SKU NOI"
Non-Substitutable Codes: 100154 Beef Coarse Ground; 100155 Beef Fresh Combo, and 100193 Pork, will be available only via pass through method of Fee-For-Service or Closed SKU NOI. No
COMMERCIAL sales for these commodities.


Per USDA Memo FD-007: Processing (Revised) - For end products produced from non-substitutable donated foods, the processor must assign end products a unique shop keeping unit (SKU) or other
identifier to prevent commingling or slotting with similar commercial products, which do not meet USDA's specifications, substitution, and grading requirements, at the distributor facility. These closed SKU
non-substitutable end products must only be sold to eligible SFAs. The processor must also provide the distributor with the gross price of the end product, and the value of the donated food used to
produce the end product for each SKU. The processor should also notify SFAs that end products have shipped to the distributor, so that they can begin drawing down the inventory.


Our products are packed based on the average number of servings. The average servings per case is calculated and checked for compliance for every production shift (eight hours). The average servings
per case, as set forth on the EPDS, meets FNS guidelines. The serving price has been calculated using the average number of servings. While the number of servings in each individual case could vary,
the per serving price in this bid has been calculated to accurately reflect the per serving price over the school year.

Material Reformatting

Overview
 We will be implementing a single SAP order entry platform across all campuses in January 2019 which
 will support our phased approach of our distribution “network of the future” which will roll out over the
 next three years. This will include a reformat of our master data that supports our internal material
 numbers (product numbers).
 Why are we doing this?
 This will standardize our data across all campuses, production facilities and our distribution network,
 enabling Tyson to fully automate across our entire supply chain and better enable the network of the
 future.
 What changes will impact you and what is the timing?
 The change to our internal Tyson material number should have limited impact to you. The first change
 you will notice is on product labels. Legacy product numbers will remain on all labels and beginning
 July 15, 2018 we will begin to include the new Tyson material number. Additions of the new Tyson
 material number to the product label will happen on a rolling schedule over the next several months.
 The second change, order entry, will ONLY impact customers using a Tyson, Hillshire or Advance-Pierre
 product code to place orders. These customers will need to covert to the new material code prior to our
 conversion date of January 27, 2019. Tyson will provide guidance to help you make these changes
 starting in the fall of 2018.
 The third change, is the distribution “network of the future” which will be a phased roll out across the
 country over the next three years. Tyson Sales, Distribution, and Logistics team members will be
 reaching out their appropriate customer partners as those locations and changes get closer.
 What is not changing?
 Related to this initiative, we are not changing any of the following key items:
  GTIN/UPC
  Product Name Short Description
  Brand Description
  Product Formulation
  Producing Locations
 What do you need to do?
 1. Be prepared to see label changes as soon as July 15, 2018 and communicate those changes to
    your customers or teams.
 2. Work closely with your Tyson Sales team who will proactively provide guidance on any needed
    order changes prior to January 27, 2019.
