Healthy Food Access Mobile Market Program

The City of Cincinnati is gathering detailed market information to assess the feasibility of launching a mobile‑market grocery program that would improve healthy food access for residents. The RFI seeks comprehensive data on operating models, vehicle specifications, equipment, technology, staffing, financial sustainability, regulatory compliance, risk mitigation, and cost estimates. Respondents are asked to provide non‑binding cost ranges, revenue assumptions, and implementation schedules, but no funding or contract award is guaranteed at this stage. • Required deliverables include detailed descriptions of proposed mobile‑market operating models, vehicle and equipment specs, technology platforms, staffing plans, and community outreach strategies. • The city expects cost estimates for vehicle acquisition, up‑fit, refrigeration, POS systems, staffing, maintenance, insurance, and other operational expenses, as well as revenue projections and financing assumptions. • All responses must be submitted electronically via the city’s Bonfire portal by October 23 2026, with questions due by October 9 2026. No contract award is implied; this is a pure information‑gathering effort.
