Board accepts bread and milk bids for 2025–26 school year
Summary
The school board approved bread and milk vendors for next year’s food service: Bimbo Bakery/Sara Lee for bread and Highland Dairy Foods for milk; the milk bid was sole-bid.
The Beatrice Public Schools Board of Education approved food-service contracts for the 2025–26 school year at its May 12 meeting, awarding the bread bid to Bimbo Bakery/Sara Lee and the milk bid to Highland Dairy Foods.
District staff said two bread bidders submitted proposals and Bimbo Bakery/Sara Lee offered the best prices. For milk, the district received a single bid from Highland Dairy Foods; another company declined to bid because of expected costs. The board approved both motions by voice vote.
Why it matters: awarding annual food-service bids secures vendors for school meal programs for the upcoming school year and sets meal supply pricing for district kitchens.
Discussion: board members did not request additional evaluation details during the meeting; staff presented the awards as routine procurement decisions.
