Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) is inviting bids from New Mexico produce and meat producers to supply locally grown and produced food products for the district’s Nutrition Services program. APS is committed to strengthening its Farm to School efforts by sourcing fresh, high-quality food directly from New Mexico growers and producers, and we welcome interested vendors to participate.

How to Respond

Important change: APS has transitioned away from Vendor Registry and is now using Bidnet Direct for all bids and RFPs going forward. Vendors who previously registered with Vendor Registry will need to create a new account with Bidnet Direct to view bid documents and submit a response.

To respond to this bid:

  1. Register with Bidnet Direct at: www.bidnetdirect.com/albuquerquepublicschools
  2. Review the full bid documents posted on the site
  3. Submit your bid response electronically through the Bidnet Direct portal before the closing date and time

All bid submittals must be submitted electronically through Bidnet Direct by the due date and time listed on the bid document. Paper or emailed submissions will not be accepted.

A Few Reminders for Bidders

  • APS and its agents do not provide support for internet access, browsers, or operating systems.
  • Bidders are strongly encouraged to create and submit their electronic responses several days in advance of the deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues.
