Cancellation Notice

This cancellation notice pertains to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Technical College System of Georgia on behalf of Oconee Fall Line Technical College for food service operations. The solicitation, numbered 81700-STC0000023, was originally posted on October 9, 2020, with Toyia M. Hunter, CPPB, serving as the issuing officer. The scope of work required a qualified supplier to provide complete food service operations at the college's main campus location at 1189 Deepstep Road in Sandersville, Georgia, including management and oversight of food preparation and services, food products, labor, materials, and expendable supplies. Services were to be provided Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with options for extended service hours for evening meals or other college-approved activities. The solicitation was cancelled on December 9, 2021, due to lack of competition, reduced in-person student enrollment, and a determination that the solicitation was not advantageous to the college.

The successful supplier was to pay Oconee Fall Line Technical College a quarterly commission on gross sales within 14 days of closing each quarterly reporting period, with gross sales defined as sales less sales taxes and refunds. Historical sales data indicated previous gross sales of $162,367.12 for the period from January to December 2019. The college maintained a cafe-type service area and food preparation area for the supplier's use. If the state entity elects to conduct a new solicitation, all suppliers will be required to respond to new bid forms and requirements, and materials submitted with the current solicitation will remain closed pending the successful rebid of the goods and services.
