IPHEC is seeking a proposal from a qualified Vendor to establish a primary agreement (Prime Vendor Contract) (single supplier) for food and food service related products in support of IPHEC member Universities food service operations. It is intended that IPHEC member Universities will provide a long-term commitment to create a most effective, dynamic and supportive cooperative agreement. The successful Vendor shall furnish food, beverages, supplies, and specified equipment necessary for the safe, sanitary and efficient operation of the food service program in support of IPHEC Universities.
The selected Prime Vendor for Food and Food Service Products will provide an open on-line catalog of food and food service products (also referred to as products) that will support IPHEC campuses. Because of the nature of food products and service products necessary, IPHEC Universities require quick turn-around times, the ability of the vendor to manage multiple orders, shipments to different locations, and reliable and accurate service; all on an as needed basis.
IPHEC reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals, minor technicalities, to accept any part of a proposal and to make no award as is deemed to be in the best interest of IPHEC. IPHEC will not pay for any information requested herein, nor is it liable for any costs incurred by the Vendor in responding to this request. All proposals submitted become the property of IPHEC and will not be returned to the Vendor. The successful Vendor must be licensed to do business in the State of Illinois.
The initial award period will commence upon award acceptance (on or around July 1, 2017) for a two (2) year period extending through June 30, 2019, with an option to renew the award for four (4) additional two-year renewal periods: from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021; from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023; from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025; and from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027, under the same terms and conditions, based on continuing need, satisfactory performance, and availability of funds, for a total of ten (10) years, at the sole discretion of IPHEC.
