RE: Approval for Extension of HPS Purchasing Group RFP for the 2024-25 School

Year

HPS Purchasing Group, Gordon Food Service, the current food vendor of products for
Randolph County Schools, has requested the opportunity to extend their RFP for the 2024-25
school year. The original contract was accepted in June 2022 and has an option for extension for

The Child Nutrition Department is pleased with the service and quality of services
provided by HPS/Gordon Food Service.

I respectfully recommend the Board to approve this extension request.
