Summer Food Service Program

The District of Columbia is seeking a food service contractor to provide a comprehensive Summer Food Service Program designed to deliver meals to multiple locations across the jurisdiction. The procurement specifically requires the successful vendor to supply 418,888 unitized boxed breakfasts and 544,350 unitized boxed lunches, to be distributed across 210 different locations during a 49-week weekday period. This solicitation appears to be a large-scale meal distribution contract targeting institutional food service, likely for summer educational or youth programs. While the specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the provided documentation, vendors will need to demonstrate substantial logistical capabilities, food safety compliance, and the ability to consistently deliver high-volume, pre-packaged meals across numerous sites. The contract was originally posted on May 15, 2006, with an unusual historical due date of December 30, 1899, which may indicate a potential data entry error in the original posting.

The contract documentation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the available information. Similarly, there are no clear details about specific infrastructure requirements or technology integration expectations. The total projected meal volume suggests a significant operational scale, with 418,888 breakfasts and 544,350 lunches representing a substantial food service commitment. While a precise budget range is not provided, the extensive meal quantities indicate a potentially high-value contract that would require significant food preparation and distribution capabilities. Prospective vendors would need to demonstrate comprehensive food service expertise, robust delivery logistics, and the capacity to consistently meet large-volume meal production and distribution requirements across numerous locations.
