Agenda Item
i. Contract Renewal ~ ITB 22-18 ~ School Nutrition USDA Product Processing ~ Renewal #4 of 4 (Not to exceed $5,600,788 ~ SY 25-26)
Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education (“the Board”) approve the contract renewal for School Nutrition USDA Product Processing in the not -to- exceed amount of $5,600,788 for SY25-26 to the following processors:
Brookwood Farms, Inc.
Gold Creek Foods, LLC,
Goodman Food Products dba Don Lee Farms
Jennie O Turkey Store Sales, LLC dba Hormel Foods
JTM Provisions Co. Inc.,
Land O’ Lakes, Inc.,
Out of the Shell, LLC dba Yang’s 5th Taste
Tyson Prepared Foods
Why: Approval of the contract renewal ensures that DeKalb County School District (DCSD) School Nutrition Services (SNS) provides healthy reimbursable meals to students that meet the Child Nutrition, USDA standards for meal pattern requirements.
Approval of the contract renewal for School Nutrition USDA Product Processing Strategic meets Goal Area 1: Student Academic Success with Equity and Access
Details: 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 (SNS) uses various USDA commodities for processing products, such as whole chicken processed into roasted chicken, natural American and mozzarella cheese processed into cheese sauce and coarse ground beef processed into beef patties. This has increased menu options and acceptability for students. Food safety is maintained at the school level by limiting the use of raw products.
School Nutrition Managers and Central Office personnel are provided a vendor complaint form (Quality Assurance Form) 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. Therefore, SNS requests to renew ITB 22-18 for an additional year with the same terms and conditions as the original contract terms from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
Financial impact: Funds will be paid from GL account 622.3100.563500.00062.8200.9990.8015.040.0000 in the amount not to exceed $5,600,788 for SY 25-26.
