  • Set-aside None (open competition)

Scope

The City of Chesapeake Office of Emergency Management, in an effort to ensure readiness when responding to emergencies and major disasters, is seeking bids from private industry (companies, businesses, and organizations) interested in supplying Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) for use during emergency events. These meals will support public safety operations and the well‑being of the citizens of the City of Chesapeake during times of need. The resulting contract(s) will be Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, as the City is unable to determine the exact quantity of MREs that may be required. These contracts will assist the City in responding to emergencies, whether natural or man‑made, as defined in the Code of Virginia §44‑146.16 and Chesapeake City Code §2‑622. Pricing for MREs under the resulting contract(s) shall be available only prior to, during, and for a reasonable period after a declared emergency, as determined by the City.

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.

  1. Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
  2. 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.
  3. This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
  4. 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.
