Description

This solicitation seeks a qualified food‑service contractor to prepare and deliver breakfast and lunch meals to children 18 years and younger at multiple sites throughout the summer of 2026. The contractor must comply with USDA meal pattern requirements, possess any necessary food service permits, and ensure staff hold ServeSafe certifications. The work is limited to the summer season and involves coordination with the City of Somerville’s schools and community centers. • Provide nutritious breakfast and lunch meals to children at seven designated locations in Somerville. • Must hold all required food service permits and ServeSafe certifications. • Follow USDA meal pattern guidelines and submit required documentation (non‑price technical proposal, price proposal, and any additional forms). • Deliver meals on a scheduled basis throughout the summer months (approximately June‑August 2026). • All submissions must be received electronically by the deadline; electronic signature is required.

Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

No contract value is disclosed in the solicitation. Based on typical summer meal programs for a city the size of Somerville (population ~80,000) serving several hundred children daily, a reasonable estimate would be in the low‑hundreds of thousands of dollars. Assuming 150 children per day, 5 days a week for 12 weeks, at $5 per meal (2 meals per day), the total cost would be roughly $225,000. Adding overhead, staffing, and administrative fees could push the contract toward $300‑$500 k. Therefore a plausible range is $200,000 to $500,000.
