About this opportunity
The City of Jersey City is seeking sealed bids for the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) for the year 2025, targeting meal services for children ages 6 months to 13 years old. The procurement requires a comprehensive food service contract that involves delivering pre-packaged breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack meals across multiple child care facilities, operating Monday through Friday. Specific daily meal requirements include 53 breakfast meals, 53 lunch meals, and 176 PM snack meals, with strict adherence to USDA meal pattern requirements and nutritional guidelines. The bid must be received by the Purchasing Agent on July 15, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with the contract period spanning from August 25, 2025, to August 25, 2026. Bidders are required to submit detailed documentation including a menu cycle, business registration certificates, and various equal employment opportunity and non-discrimination forms. Meals must be unitized, meet New Jersey Department of Agriculture Child and Adult Care Food Program standards, and be properly packaged and transported to designated program sites.
The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with comprehensive health and safety regulations, nutritional standards, and provide robust documentation of their capability to execute the meal service contract. The total estimated annual bid amount is $130,100.00, with unit prices to be determined by individual bidders for each meal type. Vendors will be evaluated on their ability to meet precise nutritional requirements, packaging specifications, and delivery logistics. The contract encompasses meal preparation, packaging, transportation, and strict adherence to governmental nutritional and health standards. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, potential bidders must be prepared to integrate with existing child care facility infrastructure and meet the comprehensive operational requirements outlined in the bid documentation.
