Cakes Catering

Parkland Health and Hospital System is soliciting an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the provision of cakes, cupcakes, and dessert products for the District and its off-site clinics. The scope of work encompasses the preparation, storage, packaging, and delivery of first-quality baked goods, with a requirement for the contractor to be available for deliveries from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM CST, Monday through Sunday. The District employs a best-value procurement process, evaluating proposals based on organization overview, past performance, technical experience, and pricing, while maintaining a 25% M/WBE participation goal. Strict performance standards are mandated, including a 98% accuracy rate for product design, flavor, and size, and a 100% compliance rate for food-safety and allergen specifications. All products must be maintained outside temperature danger zones and delivered using safe-handling practices to prevent contamination. Administratively, the contract requires invoices to be submitted in black and white PDF format via email, with payments issued within 30 days of acceptance. The District retains the unilateral right to extend the contract through two option periods, provided written notice is given within 30 days of expiration.
