Contract value

$200,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value. A bulk‑food services contract for a midsize public college typically ranges from $150,000 to $350,000 annually, depending on the number of dining locations, meal counts, and service level (e.g., full‑service cafeteria versus basic tray service). Assuming an average daily lunch for ~2,000 students at $5 per meal, plus breakfast and dinner coverage, the annual spend would be roughly 2,000 students × 365 days × $5 ≈ $3.65 million. However, bulk‑food contracts often cover only the procurement and delivery of food items (not full‑service dining), which reduces the cost to roughly 10‑15 % of that figure, yielding an estimated contract value between $150,000 and $250,000. Selecting a midpoint, the estimate is about $200,000.
