Food Services and Commissary Services for Adults in Custody

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) is seeking qualified proposers to provide comprehensive food‑service and commissary operations for adults in custody (AIC) and staff across its correctional facilities. The scope is split into two distinct categories: (1) Food Services – planning, preparation, and delivery of three daily meals, 24/7 self‑serve grab‑and‑go market, staff dining, and related nutrition compliance; (2) Commissary Services – inventory management, order processing, secure distribution, and indigent‑item provision. The contract is a fixed‑price, five‑year agreement with estimated expenditures of $50 M for food services and $10 M for commissary. Key requirements include adherence to American Correctional Association nutritional standards (minimum 2,650 calories per AIC), local sourcing within 500 mi, sustainability (recycling/composting), rigorous food‑safety (HACCP) and security protocols, and detailed reporting. Optional pre‑proposal conference (Jan 28, 2026) and site walkthroughs (Jan 29, 2026) are offered. • Two separate award categories (Food Services, Commissary Services) – bidders may respond to one or both. • Mandatory compliance with nutrition, food‑safety, and security standards; optional but encouraged local sourcing and waste‑reduction practices. • Estimated contract value: $60 M over five years, with rate protection for the first year and CPI‑based adjustments thereafter. • Pre‑bid conference (virtual) and optional facility tours; questions must be submitted by Jan 26, 2026.
