RFP: BCYF Vending Machines

The City of Boston’s Boston Centers for Youth and Families (BCYF) is seeking a qualified vendor to install, operate, and maintain food‑and‑beverage vending machines at its network of community centers. This is a revenue‑share contract: the vendor receives the right to operate the machines on city property and, in return, provides BCYF with a percentage of gross sales; the city does not make direct payments for services. The vendor must ensure machines are stocked with products that meet the city’s healthy‑food standards and must coordinate with BCYF’s Operations team and other city stakeholders for ongoing maintenance and compliance. • Scope: Installation, ongoing operation, and maintenance of vending machines across multiple BCYF locations. • Contract type: Revenue‑share (no direct fee to the city). • Compliance: All stocked items must meet Boston’s healthy food and beverage standards. • Timeline: Event opens 09/28/2026; submission deadline 10/13/2026. • Single vendor allowed (multiple bids not permitted). • Contact: Naida I Faria ([email protected]).
