From the meeting
The board planned to release and award an invitation for bid to warehouse and distribute USDA Foods and Illinois Foods. The item was on the October 14, 2026 agenda, so the decision was still pending that vote. The work is over $1 million and is tied to food warehousing and distribution for schools and related programs.
A vendor should watch this as an active solicitation with award still open.
