Summary:
Mt. Diablo Unified School District issued Request for Proposal (RFP) #1920 for 2023 Fresh Produce for Mt. Diablo Unified School District on September, 29, 2023. The RFP scope was to provide fresh produce for all sites for the balance of the 2023-24 school year (November 27, 2023 to June 30, 2024), with 3 one-year options to extend through December 31, 2027.

The RFP was awarded to Pacific Rim Produce and Bay Cities Produce as a pool. Subsequently, Bay Cities Produce closed and therefore, Pacific Rim Produce successfully provided produce to the District for the balance of the first contract year.

Food and Nutrition Services is seeking to renew the contract with Pacific Rim Produce for the 2024-25 school year and open a Purchase Order for $600,000 to purchase fresh produce for the school meal program. This is an increase from 2023-24 due to student meal participation increases and launching new Supper programs at 5 schools.
