Jefferson County RFP 2023-07 Emergency Meal Services

The Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners in Florida is seeking proposals from qualified emergency meal service providers within the region to provide declared emergency meal services in response to emergencies such as hurricanes, tornados, or other natural or man-made disasters. The County is not guaranteeing any specific quantity of meals or services, but will contact awarded contractors as needed during a declared emergency. Proposals are due by June 5, 2023 at 3:00 PM EST, and the County may conduct interviews or oral presentations with shortlisted proposers. The initial contract term will be for three years, with two optional one-year renewal terms. The price per meal will include all labor, overhead, travel, and other related costs. The County may use federal grant funding for these services, and contractors must comply with all applicable federal requirements, including those related to nondiscrimination, Davis-Bacon wage rates, and debarment and suspension.

The RFP encourages participation by minority and women-owned businesses, but does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFP does not provide information on any listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP also does not include details on possible award values or budget ranges.
