Description

Virginia Tech seeks a qualified food‑service provider to operate the existing café space at the Virginia‑Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. The contract will cover all aspects of café management, including staffing, inventory, food preparation, compliance, and optional catering services, with the opportunity to propose a full‑risk, cost‑plus, or hybrid business model. The award will be based on a weighted evaluation of quality, experience, methodology, cost, and SWaM participation. • Operate a breakfast‑and‑lunch café (Mon‑Fri) on‑site, using existing equipment and storage, with the ability to add equipment subject to approval. • Provide full food‑service responsibilities: menu development, procurement, staffing, sanitation, taxes, insurance, and compliance with Virginia Tech policies. • Contract length: 2‑year base term, with up to four optional two‑year renewals (potential total of 10 years).

Budget estimate

$300,000 – $500,000

No explicit budget is disclosed. Based on the foot‑traffic estimates (~1,100 faculty/students/clients daily) and an assumed average spend of $8 per patron, annual gross revenue could be roughly $1.6 million. Applying a typical net margin of 10‑15 % for university café operations yields an estimated profit of $160‑$250 k per year. Over the base 2‑year term, the total contract value might range from $300 k to $500 k, with higher amounts possible if extensions are exercised.
