Food Services Advisory

The Baldwinsville Central School District in Baldwinsville, New York, is seeking a food services advisory vendor to modernize its student meal program. The district needs to transition its food service operations toward scratch cooking while ensuring the menu remains culturally relevant and appealing to a diverse student population. To achieve this, the selected advisor will review current menus, recipes, and grant initiatives, and then assist in developing fifteen to twenty new scratch-cooked, plant-forward recipes. The scope of work requires the advisor to assess and train food service staff on implementing a meal production operation at the central kitchen. The advisor must ensure that these meals transport effectively and maintain high-quality presentation at receiving sites, which includes training staff on meal assembly at those locations. The project aims to enhance existing menu options by integrating sustainable scratch cooking techniques into the daily operations. Bidders must perform all work onsite in Baldwinsville, New York, and must be located within the United States. The district is requesting proposals to determine the budget for this initiative, which will span a contract period of one year. Interested parties must submit all questions by July 7, 2026, and may submit their final responses digitally via email or through the designated online portal.
