Dietary Consultant

The State of Kansas is seeking proposals from Registered Dietitians to provide routine consulting services for the Kansas Veterans' Home located in Crawford County. The selected contractor will be responsible for assessing and monitoring the nutritional needs of the facility's approximately 110 residents, developing menus, conducting nutritional assessments, collaborating with the care team, performing kitchen inspections, and providing staff training. The contract term is from the date of award through February 28, 2028, with options to renew for two additional 12-month periods. Bidders must provide hourly rates for a minimum of 16 hours of consulting services per month, as well as a rate for mileage reimbursement. The award will be made by the Procurement Negotiation Committee based on factors such as cost, qualifications, understanding of the project, and compliance with the RFP terms. No pre-proposal conference is scheduled, but bidders must request an official invitation to participate at least 24 hours prior to the closing date of November 21, 2024.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Bidders may claim certain preference programs, such as the Disabled Veteran Owned Business program. The RFP does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and does not provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not specify a budget range or award value, but states that the State of Kansas reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bid responses.
