Solicitation 26-246-4342 Emergency Shelter Meal Preparation and Delivery Services

City of Chesapeake, VA

Quick triage

What you can decide before opening a single document.

  1. Can you bid yet? Market research, not a bid

    Sources sought or a request for information. Answering it shapes the requirement, but there is nothing to price yet.

  2. Who can bid? Not in this feed

    OpenGov (multi-state) publishes no set-aside field. State and city programs (HUB, M/WBE, DBE, SWaM) are named on the official notice, if at all.

  3. Your kind of work, at your size? NIGP 95230— Delivered Meals (Including Shelf Stable Meals and Congregate Meals); Emergency Food; Emergency Shelter

    This board classifies with NIGP, not NAICS, so no SBA size standard applies to the code itself.

  4. Where is the work? Chesapeake, Virginia

    A local buyer, buying for its own jurisdiction.

  5. Is there time? Closes Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 6:00 PM UTC
  6. Is the package here? No attachments posted yet

    OpenGov (multi-state) publishes attachments with its notices and none is posted on this one — often a sign the package is still being assembled.

Checked against OpenGov (multi-state) on Oct 10, 2026. The official notice is authoritative.
