RFI# FLPS 2026 - Food Labeling Process Subscription

The California Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking input on draft requirements to centralize and standardize the food labeling process across all eight CalVet Homes, aiming to improve consistency, safety, and efficiency in meal service for veterans. This Request for Information, identified as RFI# FLPS 2026 with solicitation number 0000039653, is open for responses until July 15, 2026, and is designed to gather feedback from vendors and stakeholders to inform the development of a unified food labeling system that will be implemented statewide. The initiative seeks to address current variations in labeling practices and establish a single, compliant framework that supports nutritional transparency, allergen management, and regulatory adherence. The primary point of contact for this initiative is Long Ho, reachable via email at long.ho@calvet.ca.gov or by phone at 916-651-2099, and all responses must be submitted through the CalE procure platform by the deadline. There is no set-aside classification or NAICS code provided, indicating this is an exploratory phase to define scope and requirements before transitioning to a formal procurement. The place of performance is statewide within California, and the feedback collected will directly influence the structure and functionality of the future food labeling subscription system intended for use across all CalVet residential facilities.
