DQ / FY27 Dinner Meals

The Colorado Department of Human Services Office of Behavioral Health is soliciting quotes for food catering services to provide dinner meals for the Outpatient Clinic at Fort Logan in Denver, Colorado. The contract involves the delivery of up to 36 daily meals, or 180 meals per week, including frozen options and side items, to a specific facility at 3525 W Oxford Ave. All meals must comply with USDA nutritional value requirements and accommodate medical or religious dietary needs. The anticipated contract start date is November 1, 2026, with an initial term and a four-year renewal option. Award decisions are primarily based on price and cost, though the department also evaluates technical requirements, the vendor's experience serving populations with behavioral health and co-occurring disorders, and the feasibility of the weekly delivery schedule and contingency plans. Proposals must be limited to four pages and include a detailed budget, a budget breakdown of labor and material costs, and a signed signature page. To be eligible for award, vendors must be registered in CORE, the System for Award Management, and registered to do business in the State of Colorado. Submissions are due by November 12, 2026, and must be emailed to the designated buyer.
