RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with US Foods, Inc. (dba US Foodservice, Inc.), in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 for the purchase of all food categories, chemicals, paper products, kitchen supplies and equipment for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this purchase order will result in annual supplies expenditure of up to $1,000,000 and is 100% budgeted in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

Sysco has been CCRMC's primary food vendor, and daily delivery delays have impacted food services. Approval of this purchase order will allow the department to change its primary vendor from Sysco to US Foods, Inc., doing business as US Foodservice, Inc., which offers more food options at a lesser price. Additionally, the department believes this vendor will support CCRMC's transition of its patient food production from an outside vendor to internal production without any additional labor and will increase patient satisfaction. CCRMC has been using this vendor since 2006.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, CCRMC will continue to use Sysco as our primary food vendor which has a daily delivery delay. When such delays occur, CCRMC will have to continue to purchase daily patient meals from Food Service Partners.
