Nutritional Services

The San Antonio Early Childhood Education Municipal Development Corporation, operating as Pre-K 4 SA, is seeking qualified vendors to deliver comprehensive nutrition services for children aged one through five years enrolled in its programs. This Request for Proposals mandates daily off-site preparation, delivery, and ready-to-serve presentation of meals and snacks at all designated Education Centers and Partner Sites across Texas, with all food services required to meet or exceed the Child and Adult Care Food Program standards established by the Texas Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Beyond standard food service, the contract demands extensive professional consulting, program evaluation, and ongoing collaboration with Registered Dieticians, distinguishing it from typical commodity-based contracts. Compliance with all applicable health, safety, and sanitation regulations is non-negotiable, and vendors must operate under strict ethical guidelines prohibiting any communication with city officials or employees from the release of the solicitation until contract approval is finalized, with violations leading to immediate disqualification. The solicitation, identified as RFP 26-044 and RFx 6100019587, was issued on May 11, 2026, and proposals must be submitted via the SAePS portal by June 11, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Central Time. Vendors are required to complete registration through the SAePS Vendor Registration portal prior to accessing or submitting responses. A virtual pre-submittal conference was held on May 18, 2026, via Microsoft Teams, and while attendance was optional, it was strongly encouraged. All inquiries regarding the RFP must be directed in writing to Victor Costilla by May 21, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Central Time. Although the contract value, pricing structure, award criteria, and period of performance are not specified in the available documentation, the NAICS code 722310 reflects the procurement’s focus on food service activities. The City of San Antonio, through its Finance and Procurement Division, is the contracting authority, with primary point of contact information provided for administrative follow-up.
