62172-DAIL Senior Hunger Summit

This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation, issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), Department for Aging and Independent Living (DAIL), seeks sponsorship contributions and donations to support the 2019 Kentucky Senior Hunger Summit scheduled for October 30, 2019, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Buck Run Baptist Church in Frankfort, Kentucky. The solicitation closed on August 1, 2019, at 4:00 PM and was posted on July 24, 2019. The summit aims to provide foundational understanding of senior hunger issues at national, regional, and local levels, with an estimated attendance of 300 participants, and aligns with DAIL's mission to enhance dignity, independence, and access to quality services for Kentucky's elderly population, particularly through congregate and home-delivered meal programs that address food insecurity among seniors. The procurement is structured as a sponsorship opportunity rather than a traditional service or goods procurement with specific pricing terms. Responses must be submitted electronically or in signed paper form to the CHFS OATS Division of Procurement & Grant Oversight located at 275 E Main Street, 4E-C, Frankfort, Kentucky 40621. All vendors are required to submit an Annual Required Affidavit for Bidders certifying compliance with Kentucky statutes and executive orders, including campaign finance laws, tax registration and payment obligations, and boycott prohibitions under Executive Order 2018-905. Inquiries regarding the solicitation should be directed to Vanessa Rose at 502-564-7736 or Vanessa.Rose@ky.gov, with questions accepted only until the August 1, 2019, deadline.
