Borden provides dependable dairy service to millions |
|
Borden Dairy Company (Borden) has always strived to be the undisputed service leader in the dairy business. For more than 150 years, the Borden brand has been synonymous with quality, freshness, great taste, and of course, Elsie the Cow. Headquartered in Dallas, Borden operates 12 plants and nearly 100 distribution centers that produce and distribute nearly 500 million gallons of milk annually for customers in the grocery, mass market, club, food service, hospitality, school, and convenience store channels.
Borden maintains staying committed to its customers and promises to deliver quality products with exceptional customer service. In turn, generations of Americans have overwhelmingly recognized Borden and the beloved Elsie, as the most trusted and recognizable name in dairy for fresh, quality products.
Borden offers more than 35 products to its millions of devoted customers in communities all across Texas as well as Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, and Kentucky.
As one of the initial Choice Partners awarded vendors, Borden has served numerous customers throughout the years, currently serving upwards of 90 customers with multiple locations. Borden offers Choice Partners members quality products with a “full-service” delivery experience. |

According to Michael Francis, Spring ISD's director of Child Nutrition Services and Borden customer, communication and familiarity are the keys to success with David Wood and the entire Borden team.
"[They] continue to demonstrate the importance of the customer’s experience. They are interested in our feedback and want to know how they can continue to make their products valuable to us. Our students recognize the brand. The value of the partnership with the contract is important and we are happy with the service as a district," Francis said. |

Disaster Recovery Procurement Planning |
|
From man-made disasters to weather-related events and pandemics, public administrators continue to face the challenges associated with disaster response and recovery head-on while still carrying out their organization’s core mission. |
Shelley Vineyard Director of Procurement Specialty |
| The task of sorting out confusing and unfamiliar procurement and contracting rules while in the throes of a disaster will set your organization on a course for failure.
With an abundance of federal disaster recovery dollars continuing to flow to public entities for the foreseeable future, a strategic plan to optimize these funding sources is a “must-have” for recovery and building resilient communities. Disaster Recovery Services, LLC (DRS), will provide an opportunity for Choice Partners members to get a start on developing this strategic disaster procurement plan via a 3-hour workshop on May 10, 2022, Filing a Federal Procurement Flight Plan. Event details can be found here: |
