This is an Applicant Questionnaire and Service Selection form (Attachment C) for RFA #S-10000-00016919, issued by the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) to identify vendors for on-call feeding and bottled water delivery services during declared emergencies, disasters, and extreme weather incidents.

Additionally, applicants may offer bottled water delivery in various container sizes and hydration aid products. The RFA requires applicants to identify their service areas by Oregon county or counties and specify whether they will operate within a defined radius from their business location. Applicants must demonstrate that their staff handling food preparation and delivery possess valid Food Handlers Cards, except for those providing only bottled water or meal card services.
