RFP-26-012-69A Nutrition Services

The County’s Aging Commission seeks an approved provider to deliver a comprehensive suite of nutrition services to older adults and adults with disabilities across Shelby, Fayette, Lauderdale, and Tipton counties. Services include congregate meals, home‑delivered meals, nutrition counseling, nutrition education, therapeutic and emergency meals, and full program administration. Vendors must submit extensive documentation (financials, insurance, licensing, policies, staffing plans, monitoring tools, and satisfaction surveys) and propose unit‑rate pricing that does not exceed their usual and customary rates. The contract is a one‑year term starting July 1 2026, with up to two one‑year renewal options, and the award will be based on a weighted score (60 % technical, 40 % cost). • Provide hot home‑delivered meals, frozen/shelf‑stable meals, and congregate meals meeting OAA and state standards. • Deliver nutrition counseling and education by qualified dietitians, plus therapeutic and emergency meal options. • Maintain extensive compliance documentation (licenses, E‑Verify, drug‑free affidavit, Title VI, ADA, insurance, background checks, etc.) and submit monthly reports and invoices. • Meet a minimum 80 % customer‑satisfaction rating and cover all four counties, earning extra points for service gaps. • Contract term: 1 year (July 1 2026 – June 30 2027) with two optional one‑year renewals.
