What this contract is for

Agency: County of San Mateo - Procurement
Location: Redwood City, CA
Scope: State & Local

We’re creating a registry of food providers that County staff can use when planning events and programs. This is not a formal proposal process, it’s simply a way to get your business on our list of go-to vendors. If you're a food provider certified by the San Mateo County Environmental Health Services, we encourage you to join. The registry will be active for two years and will help County departments find local, certified providers for a wide range of needs. For example, we may need: 6 food trucks for a park event Catering for 50 people at an event on the Coastside 100 grab-and-go Asian bento box lunches A formal dinner for 100 guests 100 custom cookies for an event giveaway This is a great opportunity to showcase your offerings and get connected with County event planners!

Type: Request for Statement of Qualifications (Pre-LBPO)

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
