RFP 26-002-76 Questions and Answers No. 4

The Shelby County Government is seeking proposals to provide comprehensive food management services to the Shelby County Sheriff Department. The scope includes menu planning, food preparation, delivery, and related support services for the Sheriff’s facilities. An important clarification from this Q&A addendum is that all kitchen equipment repair, replacement, and maintenance remain the responsibility of the Sheriff Department, not the contracted vendor. This opportunity is open until April 27, 2026 and is aimed at firms capable of delivering large‑scale institutional food services on a county‑wide basis. • Provide full‑service food management (planning, cooking, delivery, waste handling) for the Sheriff Department’s facilities. • Vendor is not responsible for kitchen equipment upkeep – that stays with the Sheriff Department. • Must submit a complete RFP response by the April 27 deadline; the contract will likely be a multi‑year, high‑value county contract.
