The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (USG) has issued an electronic Request for Proposals (eRFP) seeking a qualified supplier to provide comprehensive systemwide dining management and catering services. This procurement initiative is designed to establish a single, enabling contract that will serve the diverse needs of multiple USG institutions across the state of Georgia. The overarching goal is to partner with a supplier capable of delivering high-quality, innovative, and operationally robust dining solutions that enhance the student experience, support institutional recruitment and retention efforts, and align with the strategic objectives of each participating campus.
The scope of this engagement encompasses a broad array of food service programs, including residential dining, retail food operations, catering, and related services. The selected supplier will be expected to collaborate closely with participating institutions to tailor services that address the unique requirements of each campus, which may vary significantly in size, service model, and geographic location. Importantly, the contract is structured to allow for the expansion of services as additional institutions within the USG system choose to participate over the contract term, making scalability and adaptability key considerations for prospective bidders.
Key requirements for this procurement include the delivery of comprehensive dining management services that demonstrate operational excellence, a commitment to continuous program improvement, and strict adherence to all applicable regulatory, safety, and institutional standards. The USG is seeking a strategic partner with the capacity to implement scalable solutions that can evolve in response to changing campus needs and industry best practices. The successful supplier will be expected to contribute to the overall enhancement of campus life, supporting both the academic mission and the broader goals of the University System.
This opportunity is classified as a state-level procurement under the authority of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. The place of performance is statewide within Georgia, with the potential for engagement across a wide range of USG institutions. The procurement is being conducted in accordance with the State Purchasing Act (Official Code of Georgia Annotated 50-5-50 et seq.), and all interested suppliers must comply with the requirements set forth in the eRFP documentation.
The notice was posted on October 4, 2026, with responses due by November 5, 2026.
