The government authority in Harrisonburg, Virginia seeks a vendor to supply fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs. The chosen distributor must facilitate comparative pricing by coordinating with full-service food distributors, and be able to accommodate orders in emergency or short-notice situations.

There is an expectation for creative logistics, such as back-hauling fresh items from local farms to the distributor for subsequent delivery to schools, and these arrangements may occur infrequently. Typical products may include apples, lettuce, and strawberries. Seasonal purchases may be sourced from the Shenandoah Valley Produce Auction, though these will fall outside the scope of this agreement.

Additionally, a portion of produce requirements will be met using an approved Department of Defense (DOD) supplier. The distributor is expected to be flexible in sourcing and distribution to ensure optimal availability and quality.
