Limited-Service Restaurants

NAICS 722513 (Limited-Service Restaurants) encompasses food service providers offering limited menu and service options, typically focused on quick-service meal delivery. These providers specialize in preparing and serving pre-prepared or quickly assembled meals with minimal table service, often operating in contexts like military training events, government facilities, and institutional settings. The category includes catering services, meal provision for training events, and food service concessions that deliver specific meal types like boxed meals, individual portions, and standardized dining options.

Federal Contract Awards under this NAICS code predominantly involve military and government agency catering services, with contract values ranging from approximately $1,500 to $58,500 and durations typically spanning days to months. Most awards are purchase orders or Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) issued by military branches, particularly the Army and Air National Guard. Frequent contractors include small businesses like Tipton JIM L (Pirogues Catering), Ladgov Corp, and Germantown Commissary Inc., with total small business set-asides being the most common designation. Performance locations are primarily across military bases and training facilities in states like Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, and Tennessee, supporting annual training events, drill weekends, and personnel meal services.

Recent federal contract opportunities include the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) seeking a food service concession for its headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. The opportunities focus on establishing cafeteria services to support approximately 1,300 badged personnel and 1,000 monthly visitors, with anticipated contract start dates in January 2025. These opportunities are structured as no-cost agreements where vendors receive the right to sell food products in exchange for not paying rent or utilities, with performance requirements including providing high-quality, fresh meals, maintaining food safety standards, and operating during specified hours.
