Request for Proposals Automated Concessions 2026

The Sacramento County Department of Airports is seeking qualified automated concession operators to install, operate, and maintain vending‑machine concessions at Sacramento International Airport (SMF) and Sacramento Executive Airport (SAC). Proposals must detail experience, financial capacity, product concepts, sustainability practices, and a revenue‑share model (percentage rent of gross sales). The award will result in one or more long‑term concession agreements, with operators responsible for machine placement, stocking, maintenance, ADA compliance, and customer service. Evaluation will consider qualifications, experience, concept quality, financial offer, and alignment with sustainability goals. Key dates include a non‑mandatory pre‑bid meeting on 9/21/2026, questions due 10/9/2026, and final proposal submission by 4:00 PM on 10/28/2026. • Install and maintain vending machines at two county airports. • Provide a variety of snack, beverage, and convenience‑item product lines. • Offer dynamic product selections and responsive service to employees and travelers. • Submit financial statements, insurance proof, and sustainability plans. • Propose a percentage‑of‑gross‑sales rent structure (with possible reduced rent for employee‑only locations). • Must be a California‑registered business with at least one year of recent automated‑concession experience. • Must comply with County’s Good Neighbor and Web Accessibility policies.
