Board awards SY2026-27 school lunch products bid to Nicholas and Company Inc.
Summary
After finding two bidders noncompliant, the board unanimously awarded the SY2026-27 school lunch products contract to Nicholas and Company Inc., the sole fully responsive bidder.
Chief Operating Officer Ray Ritchie told trustees that Get Fresh Sales, Inc. and Sysco Corporation submitted incomplete bids missing required pricing and signatures and therefore could not be legally considered. Nicholas and Company Inc. was the only fully compliant bidder across all lots.
Board member Robert White moved to award the lunch products bid to Nicholas and Company Inc.; Larry Small seconded and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The Board recorded the procurement as awarded to Nicholas and Company and directed staff to execute the necessary contract and notice to proceed.
The minutes record no contract irregularities beyond the two nonresponsive submissions; the Board approved the award to secure food-service continuity for SY2026-27.
