JCLM23REG0026_May_12_25_solicitation_doc.pdf

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Connecticut General Assembly for Food Services, solicitation number JCLM23REG0026. The RFI is open to all vendors and seeks comprehensive details about food service capabilities for facilities in Hartford County, with a performance period from October 27, 2023, to December 7, 2023. The vendor Q&A period runs from October 27, 2023, at 4:45 PM EDT through November 30, 2023, at 12:00 PM EST, and the final submission deadline is December 7, 2023, at 12:00 PM EST. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, and the primary contact is Sandra De La Cruz at 300 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT.

The solicitation contains no specific line items, set-aside designations, or vendor participation restrictions. There are no details about existing food service infrastructure, technology requirements, or incumbent vendors. The RFI does not specify an estimated total value, budget range, or potential contract award amount, suggesting this is primarily a market research initiative to understand potential food service solutions and vendor capabilities. Payment terms are to be specified by vendors, and the RFI package includes three supporting documents: the main RFI, an addendum, and a Q&A document. The open-ended nature of the solicitation indicates the Connecticut General Assembly is conducting preliminary research before potentially initiating a formal procurement process.
