NOTICE AND REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION - VARIOUS FOOD VENDORS

The County of Hawaii is issuing a Notice of and Request for Exemption to procure nutritious meals from various food vendors. This is a sole‑source procurement; vendors may object to the exemption by submitting written objections through the OpenGov portal before the request’s end date. Objections are addressed to the Chief Procurement Officer, and any objections place the exemption on hold while the procurement officer reviews them. No formal proposals, bids, or quotes are required; the process is limited to handling objections. The county seeks to secure food service providers capable of delivering nutritious meals, likely for government facilities or programs, but the exact scope, volume, and contract value are not detailed in the notice. • Procurement type: Sole‑source exemption for food service. • Target vendors: Any food vendor able to supply nutritious meals. • Objection process: Submit written objections via OpenGov; email inquiries to [email protected]. • No bid submission, pricing, or award timeline disclosed. • Contact: County Purchasing Division (email provided).
