​SPRING 2019 ORDER INFO

[this order window closed Dec. 12, 2018]


Thank you to everyone who participated in the Spring 2019 Cooperative Food Purchasing order window! We had another successful, record-breaking order window thanks to participation by over 100 Montana and Wyoming school districts and child-based organizations.  Here's a quick recap of the Bid & Order windows:

Spring 2019 BID submissions were due to the SWMSS office by noon on November 2, 2018. We are happy to report that we have had a competitive bid every year since SWMSS took over this program at OPI's request in April 2016 as Sysco AND Food Services of America both submit bids. The bid was awarded to Food Services of America on November 8, 2018. Congrats to FSA!

The Spring 2019 ORDER WINDOW ran from November 15 (a little earlier this time than a year ago) to December 12. We received fantastic feedback from many Food Service Managers regarding the simplified order process, and we encourage anyone to reach out to the SWMSS office with feedback on improvements, order item changes, etc. And several new districts participated! Continued growth of this program supports valuable programs within our organization, and I am happy to report that we have NO plans to increase our administrative fees at this time.​
