Summary
The board unanimously ratified three child-nutrition contracts for the 2026–27 school year: branded pizza (Bid 2604) to Papa John's Pizza, ice cream products (Bid 2606) to Ice Cream Warehouse, and frozen/refrigerated/canned/packaged foods (Bid 2608) to Gold Star Foods.
The Livingston Parish School Board unanimously ratified three child-nutrition contracts for the 2026–27 school year at its public meeting.
Supervisor of Nutrition Programs Summer Purvis told the board the district received timely bids and recommended awarding branded pizza (Bid 2604) to Papa John’s Pizza, ice cream products (Bid 2606) to Ice Cream Warehouse, and frozen, refrigerated, canned and packaged foods (Bid 2608) to Gold Star Foods. “We received one timely response for ice cream and ice cream products,” Purvis said, recommending Ice Cream Warehouse for that contract.
Board members moved and seconded motions to ratify each bid; the votes were taken verbally and the chair declared each motion carried without opposition.
The awards will govern procurement of those product categories for the coming school year; Purvis told the board there is an assembled recap in the meeting packet listing all bid awards discussed that night. No dollar totals for the food product contracts were provided during the public discussion.
The board’s approvals came during the consent portion of the agenda and were recorded as unanimous. Procurement documents and contract start dates were not discussed on the public record and will be handled administratively.
