New RFP for SY24-25: "GDSN Connection Software Services"
RFP #2024-01: GDSN Connection Software Services solicitation will be released in mid - April 2024 with plans to award no later than end of May 2024. This RFP will seek to award a vendor that offers the ability to connect participating members to product data in the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) through an online software portal. Benefits such as notifications for product changes and updates, export and import features into back of house software, menu building options, procurement features, and other options will be requested.
MRPC allows school districts from across the U.S. to join through an Interlocal Agreement or Inter-Agency Agreement (if located outside of Texas). Any RA's interested must contact Keri Warnick: keri.warnick@region10.org or Diane Fileds: diane.fields@region10.org
GDSN Requirements
R10MPRC is now requiring awarded vendors to publish their product information using GDSN. The inclusion of each product’s Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN) will allow R10MRPC and its cooperative members access to up-to-date product information from GDSN Connect (inTEAM software) and the Nourish to Flourish database. This approach will save hundreds of hours of bid prep time while greatly expanding competition for branded foods. View MPRC Vendor Bid Requirements
