Pitt Community College (PCC) in North Carolina is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced vendors to provide and service beverage and snack vending machines at the college's main campus and several off-site locations. The Request for Proposal (RFP) outlines the required services, including supplying new or like-new equipment, stocking a variety of beverages and snacks, and maintaining and repairing the machines. Vendors are required to submit proposals by November 14, 2024, and PCC plans to award the contract by November 27, 2024, with the contract term beginning on January 1, 2025, for an initial three-year period, with two optional one-year renewal terms. Vendors must provide pricing proposals in the form of a straight commission percentage on gross sales less sales tax, with separate pricing for beverage vending only, snack vending only, and combined beverage and snack vending. PCC will evaluate proposals based on the vendor's technical approach, qualifications, experience, and pricing, with the goal of selecting the vendor that provides the best value. The current vending services are provided through separate contracts for beverages and snacks, and PCC is seeking to consolidate these services under a single vendor. There are no set-asides, and the current providers are PCC Vending for snacks and Minges Bottling Group for beverages. The existing commission rates for snack vending were 8% during the Fall and Spring semesters, and 5% during the Summer semester, with a guaranteed annual minimum of $4,000. The beverage vending commission rates were 40%/35% depending on the product, with a guaranteed annual minimum of $26,000.
