DPS School Nutrition Services (SNS) is on a journey to scratch-cooked, regionally-sourced, culturally-relevant, delicious food programs; and participating in our local and regional food economies is an integral part of that vision. DPS SNS participates in the North Carolina Procurement Alliance, as well as conducting our own local procurement. 

General information about selling food to DPS SNS can be found here.

All DPS SNS bids, past and present, can be found here under "Non-construction RFPs".
