Application for Food & Beverage Vendors

Greenville County is seeking applications from food and beverage vendors to provide mobile vending services via trucks, carts, or trailers on county administration grounds and other county facilities. The procurement opportunity, identified as RFA #25020, requires vendors to submit comprehensive documentation including current City of Greenville business licenses, vehicle registrations, certificates of insurance, and color photographs of vehicle interiors and exteriors. Vendors must maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000, and statutory worker's compensation coverage. The county will evaluate applications on a pass/fail basis, focusing on complete documentation and compliance with legal requirements, including South Carolina state laws, the Illegal Immigration Reform Act, and Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines. The application submission deadline is June 30, 2025, at 12:00 pm, with vendors understanding that selection does not guarantee permanent placement and that they will be periodically rotated on the vendor list.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Selected vendors will be placed on a rotating vendor list for future events, with no guaranteed minimum sales or permanent placement. Vendors must agree to multiple operational conditions, including displaying permits publicly, not leaving vehicles unattended or overnight on county property, maintaining cleanliness, operating only in designated locations, and adhering to specific advertising and sales restrictions. The county reserves the right to immediately disqualify vendors for fraud, misrepresentation, or creating public nuisances. While no specific award value or budget range is provided, vendors will have the opportunity to provide food and beverage services at various county events and locations. The application process requires completion of a comprehensive questionnaire, submission of a Substitute W9 form, and compliance with all specified operational and legal requirements.
