FMS extends bids to potential vendors on an annual basis in 9 different categories (Grocery/Frozen, Meat, Coffee, Dairy, Medical, Textiles, Laundry/Warewashing, Housekeeping/Paper and Plastics and Housekeeping/Chemicals and Supplies). Each bid is evaluated based on pricing and quality of product and/or service. Two vendors are then selected for each category. By selecting two vendors in each category, our customers are given the flexibility to choose the vendor that can best serve their needs. In addition to the 9 categories that are part of the bidding process, we also have contracts with vendors that offer other value-added products and services, such as paint, hardware, office supplies, pest control, wireless communications and many more!
