Overview

Summary

Tucson Unified School District is seeking to enter into a contract with a produce distributor(s) to provide fresh, locally grown, specialty produce. Specialty produce will be defined as locally grown within the state of Arizona and include the USDA definition of Specialty Crop. The locally grown, specialty produce will be associated with an organized educational activity, while fulfilling the nutritional needs of a menu. Sourcing will be within the state of Arizona only, be of least cost, and must be provided with additional information such as, but not limited to, the location and name of the Arizona farm(s), years in business, other products grown, and harvest and season information. The vendor(s) selected will provide smaller delivery to the Food Services Central Warehouse only. It is the intent of the District to award a multi-term contract beginning July 1, 2026, or upon award, and continuing through June 30, 2027. If all conditions are met during this period, and it is in the best interest of the District, this contract can be extended, if funding is available, for up to one additional one-year contract or any portion thereof. However, no contract exists unless and until a purchase order is issued each fiscal year.

Background

Tucson Unified School District is a diverse public school district located in Tucson, Arizona.
