Campus Vending Services

Umpqua Community College is seeking a qualified firm for a revenue-generating concession agreement to serve as the exclusive provider of campus vending machine services in Roseburg, Oregon. The selected contractor will furnish, install, stock, and maintain snack and beverage vending machines at no cost to the college. Key operational requirements include weekly restocking, a 24-hour repair turnaround, and a mandate that at least 30 percent of all product slots contain healthier options. To ensure safety and quality, glass bottles are prohibited, and products must be removed before their labeled pull dates. The contractor is also responsible for complying with Oregon beverage container deposit requirements and maintaining comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability and automobile liability. Proposals are due by November 12, 2026, and must be submitted as a single PDF via email. The evaluation process uses a 100-point scoring system focusing on product quality and healthy options, service operations, financial value to the college, experience, equipment technology, and the transition plan. Financial value is determined by proposed commission rates, minimum annual guarantees, and value-added contributions such as scholarships or student support. Awardees must be registered with the Oregon Secretary of State and provide certifications regarding residency and non-conflict of interest. Commission payments and sales reports are due to the college by the 15th of each month.
