Applications for school meal benefits are available on this website to all students beginning July 1, 2024, and at the time of new-student registration throughout the school year. Eligibility is carried over from the previous year for up to the first 30 operating days into the new school year, or until a new eligibility determination is made, whichever comes first.* A new family application is required each school year. Families are encouraged to submit a new application at any time when income or the number of household members changes. Paper applications are available by request.
*The 30 operating days begins on the first operating day of school. Operating days are the days on which reimbursable meals or milk are provided by a school or another program sponsor [7 CFR 245.2]. Carryover applies to eligibility established through a household application or through direct certification. Meals served during the carryover period are claimed at the appropriate rate, depending on the individual child’s eligibility status from the previous school year.

This Request for Proposal (“RFP”) is for the purpose of obtaining responses from a Group Purchasing Organization (“GPO”), to provide comprehensive food purchasing services with improved pricing of foods that meet current USDA standards in the following categories: Meat, Dairy, WG Rich Bread, and Grains, Produce, Snacks, Paper, and Cleaning Supplies for Babcock Neighborhood School.
Group Purchasing Organizations, Buying Organizations, and Third-Party Vendors, collectively referred to as GPOs, often include CNP and Non-Program Operators. GPOs could be private for-profit or nonprofit entities. A GPO is typically structured in a way that may include a membership fee paid by member users, who are then granted access to the GPO price list of products and services. Although participating in these types of agreements can offer greater economy and efficiency for procurement or use of common or shared goods or services (2 CFR 200.318(e)), SFAs participating in these agreements must still conduct competitive procurement in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200.318-.326 and applicable program regulations and guidance.
Meal programs to be serviced with the contracted items include the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) National School Lunch Program and/or the School Breakfast Program. Babcock Neighborhood School (sponsor) is a public charter school located in Punta Gorda, Florida. The goal of the Food Service Program is to support the nutritional needs of our students by providing healthy breakfast, lunch, and snack items every school day.
