ANTICIPATED REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT

Food and Related Non-Food Supplies for US Forest Service Job Corps Centers

Issued by:

Job Corps AQM Support Branch

NOTE: The following information is shared for market research purposes only. These documents do not constitute a solicitation and requirements may change for any solicitation(s) later issued for this requirement.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The USDA Forest Service Job Corps Civilian Conservation Centers provide academic, vocational, and life-learning skills to at risk youths and young adults at 27 Job Corps Centers across the United States. Each Center has and maintains a cafeteria, staffed by federal employees, to feed the Job Corps students (and occasionally staff or guests) who reside at the Center. Student populations at each center vary from below 100 to nearly 300 students.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE ANITICPATED REQUIREMENTS

The anticipated requirements are food supplies required for the Centers’ cafeterias, as well as related non-food items required for food preparation, storage and service. Some Centers also have a Culinary Arts Vocation Program, which also requires similar items. Vendors should be able to provide a variety of items, and items delivered should be fresh, acceptable-quality items meeting the specifications presented in the vendor’s ordering system.

MANAGEMENT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE: Vendors must be able to provide a single point of contact to coordinate contract administration. If vendors have very large contracts with many Job Corps locations, vendors may need to considering having additional staff at least partially dedicated to coordinating ordering, invoicing and other administrative functions.

ORDERING: Vendors must have a user-friendly ordering system and—depending on the complexity of the ordering system—may need to be capable of training Center staff regarding how to use the ordering system. Centers currently order food and related non-food items weekly.

DELIVERY: Supplies will need to be delivered weekly.

LOCATIONS: Vendors will not necessarily be required to supply all locations. The Government encourages businesses that can only supply one or two locations to respond. The Government also encourages businesses that can only supply only certain kinds of items to respond.

Vendors will need to supply and deliver any contractually required supplies and have and maintain a distribution system capable of conforming to the needs of the Forest Service Job Corps Centers.

The following table shows the names and locations of all twenty-seven current US Forest Service Job Corps Centers, as well as an estimated On-Board-Strength (OBS) for each. The OBS reflects the typical number of students living on-center at any given time. Students enter and leave the program at their own pace, so this number fluctuates.
