The Town of Riverhead, through its Senior Citizen Program, offers breakfast and a hot, nutritionally balanced noon meal which is prepared and cooked on premises (breakfast Monday through Thursday and lunch Monday through Friday). In addition to the above, the Senior Citizen Program offers activities and events some of which include service of food and a Meals on Wheels Program for all qualified and eligible homebound residents of the Town of Riverhead. The Town strives to provide quality and diverse nutritious and balanced meals. The Town is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to supply the Town with USDA grade meats, dairy, produce, grocery, bakery, and beverage products, on an as needed basis. In soliciting proposals, it is the Town’s intent and goal to provide quality food and services, meet standards of nutrition set by Town, expedite deliveries and allow for pick-up for a limited number of specialty or in season/farm fresh produce, and reduce food and administrative costs. The Town seeks vendor(s) that demonstrate ability to meet these goals. In addition, as the Senior Citizen Program is committed to provide nutritional and well balanced meals and at times must provide and/or substitute foods for some residents due to sodium or concentrated sweets restrictions, with respect to packaged, canned, and bottled food and beverage items, the Town seeks the vendor to identify the brand, product code, serving or pack size and nutritional data on all food items (i.e. calorie and nutrition labels to include total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrates, fiber, sugar, and protein). Finally, the Town is also committed to food safety. It will be required that the vendor help in our efforts to maintain food safety when it comes to recalls on products, delivery requirements and any other food safety issues that may arise.
