Food Management Assistance Service

The Lafayette School District seeks a Food Service Management Company to manage its food service program for a one-year period. The selected vendor must provide high-quality, nutritious, and culturally responsive meals meeting local, state, and federal standards, while prioritizing local California-grown foods, expanding student participation, accommodating medically necessary diets, and maintaining financial and operational safety. Eligibility is limited to USA-based onshore respondents who inspect the district premises during a mandatory tour. Joint proposals from multiple entities are prohibited. Vendors must submit electronic single-PDF proposals to Michelle Foxworthy at [email protected]. A mandatory tour occurs on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at 10:00 am at Stanley Middle School. Clarifying questions must be submitted via email by Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 4:40 pm. Proposals require all standard RFP attachments, including minimum qualifications, references, and fee proposals. Payment uses a cost-reimbursable structure with a fixed fee per meal, and respondents must request proposal pricing details directly.
