Summary: Mt. Diablo Unified School District's Request for Proposal (RFP) #1939 2024 Grocery, Frozen, and Bakery for Mt. Diablo Unified School District was Noticed on April 1, 2024. The RFP scope is to provide district-wide food items for the 2024/2025 school year (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025), with possible 2 one-year options to extend through June 30, 2027. District staff received four responses to RFP #1939 on April 29, 2024. The Proposals were reviewed by staff and were found to be responsive, with one proposal only bidding on a few items.
