RPS-1010 - School Food Service Distributor

RPS and Equalis Group intend to bring this Program to other school districts within and outside of the current geographic reach of the current RPS membership. This includes Colorado and any school district across the country who elects to utilize this program, subject to their local guidelines and regulations.
The Winning distributor(s) and Equalis Group will also enter into a separate management agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) which defines i) the roles and responsibilities of both parties relating to marketing and selling the Program to current and prospective Members and ii) Reporting Requirements and Vendor Participation Fee as outlined in Section 1.5 and Section 3.11. The Winning distributor(s) and Equalis Group will work closely together to develop and implement marketing and sales strategies to drive program adoption with current and future Members across the country.
Additionally, Equalis Group has partnered with Avendra to offer a robust portfolio of already existing manufacturer deviations. These deviations will be offered to Winning Distributor(s) to further reduce the cost of goods for Members of this Program. The Avendra portfolio will act as a supplement to the Manufacturer contracts referenced in the Program Overview below and throughout this RFP and will not be provided to Respondents prior to being awarded under this RFP.
