Board renews dessert contract with League City Crumble; discusses food-service pricing
Summary
Trustees approved a one-year renewal (Sept. 1, 2026–Aug. 31, 2027) for high-school dessert service with League City Crumble, an estimated $150,000 contract, and discussed pricing dynamics for branded vendors and federal competitive-food rules.
The board approved a renewal of contract 2024.820 with League City Crumble for dessert service at high-school campuses, covering the 2026–27 school year. Vice President Cheka moved to approve the contract, which staff estimated at an approximate value of $150,000 for the contract period of Sept. 1, 2026 through Aug. 31, 2027; the motion passed unanimously.
During discussion, child-nutrition staff described federal constraints that require competitive (non–reimbursable) food pricing to be below program food-cost benchmarks, and they noted packaged/delivery costs and unsold-product risk affect school pricing. Trustees asked whether bulk discounts were offered and whether local vendors were being prioritized; staff said branded vendors have limited wiggle room on margins while local vendors like Crumble factor in delivery and packaging costs.
