Football Concession Vendor Services

Plymouth-Canton Community Schools (PCCS) in Wayne County, Michigan is requesting proposals for football concession vendor services at three high school stadiums, with proposals due May 29, 2026. Site walkthroughs were conducted May 18, 2026 at West Stadium (Plymouth HS), North Stadium (Salem HS), and East Stadium (Canton HS).

The scope covers food and beverage concession operations at football home games across the three locations, with special events designated by the Assistant Principals of Athletics and Activities. Vendors must supply staffing, equipment, inventory management, and point-of-sale operations. The district maintains an existing contract with Pepsi that the new vendor must honor; no other specific sponsor relationships are required. Propane use is permitted where gas hook-ups are unavailable, and adequate electrical capacity exists for vendor equipment at all three sites. Concession services are limited to football games; expansion to other sports is not available at this time.

The incumbent vendor, Kevin's Catering, generated gross sales of approximately $25,000 in fall 2024 and $29,000 in fall 2025. The district is seeking a new vendor due to complaints regarding food quality and menu offerings from the previous provider.

Vendors must demonstrate experience in food service operations, comply with health and safety regulations, and carry adequate liability insurance. The RFP establishes performance standards, revenue-sharing or commission structures, and vendor responsibilities for inventory control and cash management. Specific pricing requirements, contract term, renewal provisions, and any revenue-sharing percentages or funding allocations are detailed in the final RFP document.
