About this opportunity

Jefferson County, Colorado, is seeking proposals for emergency mass feeding catering services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) with the solicitation number 25-14586H-EM. The county requires contractors to provide on-call catering services during emergencies such as wildfires, floods, and other disasters, capable of delivering up to 500 meals for non-wildland firefighters and 250 meals for wildland firefighters within 12 hours of notification. Minimum qualifications include one year of similar service experience, a current Retail Food Establishment License, and compliance with federal funding requirements. Proposals will be evaluated based on project history, statement of work, solution appropriateness, firm stability, proposal quality, and cost. Key submission deadlines include questions due by July 24, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., and proposals due on August 18, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System (RMEPS). Contractors must provide sample menus for standard (2,000 calories/day) and high-calorie (6,000 calories/day) meals, accommodating various dietary restrictions and complying with Colorado Retail Food Establishment Regulations.

The RFP allows for potential cooperative purchasing, permitting other government agencies to utilize the contract. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises are explicitly detailed, the document suggests openness to diverse vendors. The initial contract term is three years, with potential annual renewals for four additional one-year terms, and multiple contracts may be awarded. Pricing must remain firm until December 2026, with current funding sourced from county resources and potential future funding from state or federal sources. The county reserves the right to award contracts based on the best ability to meet requirements, not necessarily to the lowest-priced bidder. Successful contractors will be required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and commercial automobile liability, with specific minimum coverage limits. While no specific contract value is mentioned, the scope suggests a significant operational capacity for emergency food service provisions across Jefferson County and potentially neighboring municipalities.
