Gatesville ISD awards 2026–27 food-service contract to Southwest Food Service at $1,076,846.80
Summary
After completing an RFP and receiving Texas Department of Agriculture approval, trustees selected Southwest Food Service as the district's food-service management company for 2026–2027 with a packet cost corrected to $1,076,846.80.
Assistant Superintendent LeighAnn Goodwin told the board that Gatesville ISD completed the required RFP process for food-service management as the current five-year contract ends in June 2026. The Texas Department of Agriculture approved bringing the recommendation to the board, and Goodwin corrected a typographical error in the packet to show the contract cost as $1,076,846.80.
The board voted to approve Southwest Food Service as the winning bidder for the 2026–2027 school year; the motion, made by Charles Alderson and seconded by Cheyenne Kizer, passed 6–0 with one absence. The minutes do not list the award's detailed pricing breakdown or per-meal rates; Goodwin said the district used a rubric in the selection process and followed state procurement requirements.
