Description

This Sources Sought / RFI seeks market research from industry capable of operating the main cafeteria, catering, and pop‑up lunch services for the Herbert C. Hoover Building in Washington, DC. The eventual contract will be a single‑award, performance‑based, firm‑fixed‑price (FFP) award with a base period and optional extensions. The contractor must provide full‑service food operations, including staffing, menu planning, sanitation, HACCP compliance, equipment maintenance (both government‑furnished and contractor‑owned), cleaning, marketing, and extensive reporting. The solicitation emphasizes strict performance metrics, a required Program Manager, and compliance with federal food‑service, safety, and environmental regulations. • Operate the main cafeteria, provide catering and directed pop‑up lunch services (Executive Dining Room excluded). • Deliver all labor, supplies, equipment maintenance, cleaning, marketing, and reporting under a firm‑fixed‑price contract. • Maintain government‑furnished equipment, perform preventive maintenance, and meet detailed performance metrics (e.g., 100 % sanitation, 95 % recycling). • Submit transition‑in/out plans, monthly sales and profit‑and‑loss reports, and comply with extensive record‑keeping and environmental standards.

Budget estimate

$2,000,000 – $5,000,000

No contract value is disclosed, but similar federal cafeteria operations in a high‑cost urban area (Washington, DC) typically range from $2 million to $5 million annually, depending on meal volume, staffing levels, and the optional operating subsidy. Assuming a base period of one year with potential extensions, the total award could be roughly $2 M–$5 M.
