T1243 - Food Service For The NJ National Guard Training Center, Sea Girt

The State of New Jersey, Department of the Treasury - Division of Purchase and Property, on behalf of the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, is seeking to award a Master Blanket Purchase Order for food service at the New Jersey National Guard Training Center in Sea Girt, located in Monmouth County. The contract requires the successful vendor to provide a comprehensive food service program, including meal preparation, dining facility management, cleaning and sanitation, and vendor staffing. The contract term is for an initial one-year period with four one-year renewal options. Vendors must submit quotes electronically through the NJSTART procurement system by the specified deadline and attend an optional pre-quote conference and site visit. The contract will be awarded to the responsible vendor whose quote is most advantageous to the State, with price and other factors considered.

The solicitation indicates this is a re-procurement of a previous food service contract that expired in 2019, but does not provide information on any incumbent vendors. The contract is open to vendors throughout New Jersey, with no specific set-asides mentioned. However, the solicitation notes the contract is subject to cooperative purchasing, and vendors are required to indicate if they self-identify as a minority-owned, women-owned, or small business. The pricing structure is firm-fixed, with an annual dining facility use fee of $105,000 to be paid by the vendor. While the total contract value is not provided, the state-supplied price sheet indicates a wide range of estimated meal quantities across different service categories.
