Request for Proposals

NEI3A Seeks Proposals From Local Restaurants to Participate in the Iowa Café Program

The Iowa Café program utilizes local restaurants and food establishments to provide congregate nutrition services to:

  • Reduce Hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition
  • Promote socialization of older people
  • promote health and well-being with access to nutrition and health promotion/disease prevention services to delay onset of chronic diseases

All Iowa Café partners contract directly with Northeast Iowa Area Agency on Aging (NEI3A) to host an Iowa Cafe to provide meals for older adults.

Contracts will be awarded to responsible contractors whose proposals demonstrate to be most advantageous to the area’s program, price, and other factors considered. Final judgment in this determination rests with NEI3A’s respective Governing Boards.

Contracts are procured through a competitive bidding process in compliance with the Iowa Administrative Code and Federal guidelines.
