Description
The State of Oregon’s Department of Human Services is seeking on‑call vendors to provide emergency feeding services and bottled‑water delivery. Applicants may offer a range of options—including large‑scale or small‑scale prepared meals, food‑box kits, Meals‑Ready‑to‑Eat, meal cards/vouchers, bottled water, and hydration aids—under pre‑negotiated price agreements that can be called upon during disasters or extreme‑weather events. The agency anticipates awarding multiple price agreements with an initial term through June 30 2025 and the ability to extend up to seven years without additional competition. Successful vendors must demonstrate relevant licensing, insurance, and compliance with Oregon’s non‑discrimination and responsibility requirements.
• Provide on‑call meal preparation, food‑box assembly, MREs, or voucher administration for emergency shelters across Oregon.
• Deliver bulk bottled water and optional electrolyte/hydration products to designated locations.
• Submit a complete application packet (certifications, questionnaire, outreach plan, responsibility inquiry) by Dec 31 2026; rates will be negotiated in subsequent price‑agreement negotiations.
