Food Services

The government authority in Norwell, MA requires a vendor to provide food services for students in its K-5 and 6-12 buildings.

Requirements include providing fresh fruits and vegetables, locally sourced foods when possible, and commodity foods. Vendors must eliminate deep-fried foods, artificial trans fats, hydrogenated oils, sodium nitrates or nitrites in meat, animal by-products, and mechanically separated meats, while minimizing frozen, overly processed, and high-sugar foods. The vendor must perform the work offsite at its office premises. Eligibility is limited to USA onshore organizations. The buyer invites proposals to establish the budget.
