The Cooperative Food Purchasing Program was developed to provide lower prices to schools on food items for use in school meals programs. This program allows small school districts to take advantage of substantial cost savings. The cost of each food item is the same to all schools in the state regardless of their size or location.
All food items on the bid are screened to ensure quality, nutritional integrity and student acceptability. There are no restrictions on the quantity or type of food the school can order.
The Advisory Bid & Commodity Committee was initiated in the fall of 2002. The Committee is the voice of Montana school foodservice in decisions regarding the items offered in the Food Distribution Program and OPI Cooperative Purchase Program.
