GENERAL NOTICE - THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION - WICC - CC Food Truck Vendors 5/5/22-7/5/22

This opportunity is for food truck vendors to provide meal options to staff at the Western Illinois Correctional Center in Calhoun County, Illinois. The Illinois Department of Corrections is seeking vendors to set up and serve food in the facility's staff parking lot on a first-come, first-served basis, with the ability to accommodate multiple vendors at a given time. Interested vendors must complete a Vendor Information Form, provide a menu with pricing, and confirm they have proper licensure, certifications, and insurance coverage. The facility will maintain a list of approved vendors who can remain on the list until they choose to be removed or the program is discontinued. All food purchases will be at the sole discretion and expense of individual facility staff, and not guaranteed by the Department of Corrections or State of Illinois. The facility may also conduct criminal and driver history background checks of the vendor's employees or agents as deemed necessary for security reasons.

This opportunity is not a formal solicitation and will not result in a contract with the State of Illinois. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The facility has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no listed award value or budget range. Vendors will be responsible for providing their own equipment, supplies, and staff to operate the food trucks, and all revenue generated will go directly to the vendors.
