From the meeting
Groton Public Schools presented its Farm to School program, which serves fresh fruits and vegetables to 5,000 students and is fully funded by USDA grants, state grants, and produce grants. The presentation discussed logistics, timeline, possible inclusion of the CTE Culinary program, and adding locally sourced protein. Westerly's committee also said it wanted to consider implementing a Farm to School program locally, so the concept is now on the district's radar as a future initiative.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Westerly School District issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Westerly School District's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Westerly School District before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
