RFQ 50455 - As-Needed Catering Services

The City and County of San Francisco, operating San Francisco International Airport (SFO), is issuing a continuous Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to pre‑qualify catering providers for an on‑demand pool that will supply food and beverage services for airport and other city events. Interested vendors submit an intake form and required qualification documents through the OpenGov e‑procurement portal; successful respondents are placed in a Prequalified Pool valid for up to two years (extendable to four). When an event arises, SFO may select a provider from the pool without further competition, or may request quotes. Resulting contracts are non‑exclusive, with terms determined at award time but never exceeding ten years, and have no predetermined not‑to‑exceed amount. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with local labor, wage, and small‑business participation policies, as well as green‑purchasing and cybersecurity requirements. • Pre‑qualify to join a rolling two‑year pool of SFO catering partners. • No guaranteed contract; selection is event‑driven and at SFO’s sole discretion. • Required qualifications: valid Bay Area health permit and active City‑approved Supplier ID. • Submission via OpenGov portal; initial deadline April 24 2026, but rolling submissions accepted. • Contracts may range from small event orders to multi‑year agreements (max 10 years). • Compliance with San Francisco labor ordinances, LBE program, green purchasing, and cybersecurity assessments. • No bond required; insurance/bonding to be provided within ten business days of award if required.
