The solicitation 2026-018 issued by Richland School District One in South Carolina seeks to qualify a professional firm to provide design services for a Central Kitchen project, consisting of a Phase One feasibility study with an optional Phase Two to deliver full design drawings. The procurement is classified under NAICS Code 541340, indicating professional, scientific, and technical services related to architectural and engineering activities, and is structured as a Request for Qualifications rather than a competitive bid for pricing. The solicitation was posted on June 23, 2026, with responses due by July 7, 2026, and the place of performance is confirmed to be within South Carolina. Although the contract does not specify a period of performance, delivery schedule, pricing structure, or estimated value, the core deliverables are clearly defined as a feasibility assessment followed by the potential for comprehensive design documentation. The contracting officer is Brittany Green, reachable via email and phone provided in the metadata. Despite extensive metadata and document listings, no detailed evaluation criteria, contract clauses, representations, inspection standards, or special requirements such as bonding or insurance are included in the provided materials. The appended documents reference educational counseling frameworks and school program tools, which appear unrelated to the Central Kitchen procurement and are likely included in error or for administrative context, leaving the technical and procedural scope limited to the scope outlined in the statement of work.
