|
In a bustling, fast-paced and urgent world, food and subsistence are rarely given a second thought. Eating on the go, drive-thrus, and fast food have become quick and easy favorites for busy consumers. The food service industry has had to adapt to these changes and strive to provide fast and convenient as well as delicious foods.
Amid this trend, food safety issues and other public health concerns like obesity are at the forefront. While convenience is still important, more and more people are recognizing the importance of a balanced diet complete with fresh and healthy food. Many government agencies are also slowing down and taking a closer look at the food they are providing to ensure it is safe and tasty as well as healthy and properly prepared.
Despite the conventional image of the food service industry being a less profitable trade, it is actually a very consistent and lucrative field. In fact, the City of New York recently awarded a $1.16 million contract to Plainfield Fruit & Produce Company in January of 2015 to provide the city with fresh, healthy, and local fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, in 2012, New York City agencies overall purchased about five and half million dollars worth of food from in-state suppliers and food service companies.
From top federal agencies like the FDA and the USDA to local schools and jails, more and more government agencies are seeking vendors to supply local, healthy, and nutritious foods as well as food service professionals to prepare meals with increasingly high food safety standards. Year-round, there are a wealth of bids and RFPs in the government marketplace for food products and services. Cooks and caterers as well as suppliers of meat, produce, and other consumable products must look no further than Find RFP to find opportunities of interest.
