Grocery Market Feasibility Analysis, Food Access Needs Assessment and Retail Recruitment Strategy Services

The government authority located in Port Arthur, Texas is seeking grocery market feasibility analysis, food access needs assessment, and retail recruitment strategy services. The agency requires this work to guide future decision-making and to serve as a foundation for engaging potential grocery operators, development partners, investors, and community stakeholders. The selected vendor must conduct a market analysis of grocery demand and food access, reviewing demographic trends, population characteristics, household income, consumer spending patterns, and economic indicators. The scope of work also requires the design and implementation of a community engagement strategy, which may include surveys, focus groups, stakeholder interviews, public meetings, and other outreach methods. Additionally, the agency needs an evaluation of the feasibility of various grocery retail and food access models within the study area, assessing the economic, operational, social, and market viability of each model. The project includes supportive mapping to illustrate existing grocery and food retail locations, analyzing service areas, transportation access, walking distances, and other geographic factors affecting food access. Eligibility is restricted to onshore USA organizations only. The agency permits the performance of the work to be completed offsite. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget.
