Full-Service Restaurants

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 722511 represents Full-Service Restaurants, which encompasses dining establishments that provide comprehensive food and beverage services. These restaurants offer complete table service where customers are seated and served by wait staff, typically providing a full menu of prepared meals and complementary services. The category includes various dining venues such as sit-down restaurants, family dining establishments, fine dining restaurants, and specialty food service operations that prepare and serve meals directly to consumers.

The federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a diverse range of food service requirements across multiple government agencies. Contract values range from approximately $7,000 to $282,000, with typical performance periods spanning several months to a few years. Frequent awardees include small businesses like Ar Corporation, Cascade Ice LLC, and Compass Group USA, with contracts predominantly issued by agencies such as the Department of Agriculture, Department of the Navy Reserve, and Department of State. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or blanket purchase agreements, and notably, the majority of these contracts do not utilize specific small business set-aside designations. Common service scopes include meal preparation for military personnel, catering for government events, providing on-site restaurant services at federal facilities, and supporting emergency response operations like wildland firefighting.

The federal contract opportunity represents a specific restaurant concession contract for the U.S. Air Force at RAF Lakenheath in England. The pre-solicitation notice seeks a concessionaire to operate an American-style restaurant at a golf course, with detailed requirements for food service operations. The opportunity specifies comprehensive restaurant management responsibilities, including menu development, food preparation, service standards, and financial remuneration to the government. The contract structure includes a one-year base period with four potential one-year extensions, and requires the vendor to provide all personnel, food, supplies, and services necessary to run a full-service restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch, and potentially dinner.
