Senior Dining Program

The Washington County Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) is seeking competitive bids for a senior dining food service contract to be executed in January 2026, with potential annual renewals through 2028. This procurement opportunity involves selecting a food service provider capable of preparing meals offsite and delivering them to designated Washington County meal sites, specifically funded through Title III of the Older Americans Act. The contract will require a vendor to consistently produce and transport nutritionally balanced meals for senior dining programs, with the primary location of service being the ADRC located at 333 East Washington Street in West Bend, Wisconsin. Interested vendors must submit comprehensive proposals by September 10, 2025, demonstrating their capacity to meet the program's nutritional and logistical requirements. The solicitation appears to prioritize vendors with proven experience in large-scale meal preparation, transportation, and service delivery for senior populations, with an emphasis on consistent, high-quality food service.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement suggests potential opportunities for local or regional food service providers. The contract appears structured to accommodate vendors with demonstrated capabilities in senior nutrition programming, potentially favoring businesses with established infrastructure for large-scale meal production and distribution. No incumbent vendor information is currently available in the provided materials. Though specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the multi-year contract structure (potentially running through 2028) indicates a significant and sustained procurement opportunity. Prospective bidders should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive operational capabilities, including meal preparation standards, delivery logistics, nutritional compliance, and the ability to serve multiple meal sites consistently throughout Washington County.
