School districts: contracting: purchases for child nutrition programs.

Summary

The bill revises California’s Public Contract Code to alter how school districts procure goods and services, especially for federally funded child nutrition programs. It keeps the “lowest responsible bidder” rule for most contracts but would drop the requirement that price be the primary factor in nutrition‑program awards. The change aims to give districts more flexibility in selecting vendors while still following federal procurement standards.
