Request for Proposals - Vending Machine Services for MSD

The City of Cincinnati, on behalf of the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD), issued an RFP seeking a vendor to provide full‑service vending‑machine operations for multiple MSD locations. The vendor must finance, install, stock, maintain, and service both snack and beverage vending machines, accept credit‑card payments without using the City’s internet, and meet healthy‑snack product requirements. The contract is a revenue‑share model where the vendor retains all sales proceeds, with a base term of five years and optional one‑year extensions. • Provide new vending machines (snack & beverage) with smart, cash‑less payment capability. • Stock machines with a mix of healthier options and manage routine maintenance, restocking, and cleaning. • Hold all necessary licenses, insurance, and comply with city, state, and federal regulations; optional SBE credit available.
