About this opportunity
The Whitfield County Sheriff's Office is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Food Management Services to provide meal preparation and service operations at the Whitfield County Jail. The procurement seeks a qualified food service provider to deliver three nutritionally balanced meals daily—with breakfast and lunch prepared as hot meals and dinner as sack meals—prepared within the facility's equipped kitchen. Required deliverables include menus certified by a registered dietitian, a four-week minimum menu cycle, meals meeting a minimum of 2,500 calories daily and Recommended Dietary Allowances standards, special dietary meals at no additional charge, five holiday/spirit lifter meals annually at no cost, and contingency planning to provide 14 days of meals during emergencies. The vendor must maintain a minimum five-day supply of regular menu items on-site and ensure all food meets USDA minimum grade standards. Required staffing includes a full-time Food Service Director with a minimum salary of $55,000 annually and 12+ months of institutional experience, plus a minimum of three Food Service Supervisors earning at least $19 per hour with 12+ months of jail or correctional facility experience. Evaluation criteria weighted equally at 25 percent each include Qualifications & Experience, Operational Work Plan, Fees, and Quality of Response. Sealed proposals are due by 2:00 PM on April 9, 2026, at the Whitfield County Finance Office in Dalton, Georgia. A mandatory pre-proposal conference and facility tour will be held on March 25, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time at the Whitfield County Sheriff's Office (805 Professional Blvd, Dalton, Georgia), requiring advance registration with Lt. Graham Williams at 706-278-1233. Pricing shall be quoted as a cost per meal with the price guaranteed for one year, subject to annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index effective January 1st.
The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions limiting organizational types eligible to respond. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is provided in the procurement documents. The vendor must maintain liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, plus workers' compensation coverage. The initial contract term is one year with four one-year renewal options, with either party able to terminate by providing 60 days' written notice prior to renewal or 30 days' notice for termination for convenience. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available documentation; however, funding is dependent on annual appropriation by the Whitfield County Board of Commissioners. The contract will be awarded to the responsible proposer whose proposal best meets the county's needs based on the stated evaluation criteria.
