Public procurement context

City of Kingsport in Kingsport, Tennessee is using this solicitation to procure food service work. Public agencies typically advertise this kind of work as a Request for Quote (RFQ), with award decisions driven primarily by price among pre-qualified bidders. Bidders responding to a food service solicitation in Tennessee are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.

Contracts of this type are usually awarded under the issuing agency's published procurement rules, with bid bond, performance bond, and reference requirements set in the solicitation documents. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in Tennessee so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.

How to respond to this RFQ

To submit a quote for this RFQ, review the full solicitation documents for City of Kingsport's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the July 20, 2026 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause. Confirm how the agency accepts responses — through an electronic procurement portal, as a sealed hard-copy bid, or by email — because the required method varies by agency and a non-conforming submission can be disqualified. Direct questions about scope or specifications to ssloan@k12k.com before the agency's question cut-off date. Vendors that have not previously contracted with City of Kingsport should confirm whether registration on the agency's vendor system is required to be eligible for award.
