Description

The Crawford County Sheriff's Office is seeking qualified vendors to provide two essential services for its inmate population of up to 307 individuals: (1) an Inmate Commissary Service that will manage the sale of approved goods to inmates, and (2) an Inmate Food Service that will prepare and serve meals on a regular schedule. Bids must be submitted in sealed envelopes by the deadline, after which they will be opened and evaluated for award. The contract will likely be a multi‑year, ongoing service arrangement to ensure continuity of food provision and commissary operations within the county jail. • Provide full‑service commissary operations, including inventory, pricing, sales tracking, and financial reconciliation. • Deliver daily or scheduled meal preparation, service, and sanitation for up to 307 inmates. • Comply with all applicable correctional facility regulations, health standards, and security protocols. • Maintain reliable reporting and communication with the Sheriff’s Office for budgeting and audit purposes. • Offer competitive pricing and the capacity to scale services as inmate numbers fluctuate.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $1,000,000

Based on the inmate count (307) and typical per‑inmate daily food cost (~$5‑$7) plus commissary revenue handling, an annual contract could range from $500,000 to $1,000,000. The lower bound assumes a modest meal program with limited commissary oversight; the upper bound assumes full‑service meal preparation, extensive inventory management, and robust reporting. Seasonal fluctuations, contract length, and additional security requirements could push the amount higher, while a short‑term or limited‑scope award could keep it near the low end.
