NIGP 90537: Concessions, Airport: Pay Telephone

NIGP 90537 Concessions, Airport: Pay Telephone is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit vendors to operate food and beverage concessions and related services at public facilities. Recent solicitation activity shows that the code captures concession-operation contracts for aquatic centers, water parks, and other public venues where governments seek vendors to furnish labor, materials, equipment, and services on a self-sustaining or revenue-sharing basis. Henry County Government, a representative county-level issuing body, has posted concession-operations work under this code. The scope typically includes facility-specific operational requirements—menu approval, health-department compliance, insurance and background-check standards, and structured compensation models tied to gross sales or fixed percentages—with vendors bearing all operational costs and responsibility for service quality, staffing, and regulatory compliance.

Henry County Government issued RFP #27-16 on September 4, 2026, soliciting proposals to operate and manage food and beverage concessions at the Henry County Aquatic Center and Kensley Grace Water Park, with proposals due October 6, 2026 and a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit on September 15, 2026. The contract spans two locations: an outdoor concession at the Water Park operating seasonally (May 22–September 6, 2027) and an indoor concession at the Aquatic Center operating year-round during scheduled events and rentals (January 16–November 14, 2027). Compensation is structured as a revenue-sharing model with bi-weekly reporting of verified gross sales (excluding state sales tax) to the County. The initial contract term runs one year from execution with options for two additional one-year renewals. Evaluation criteria weight qualifications and relevant experience (35 points), key staff experience and availability (25 points), methodology and technical approach (35 points), and cost proposal (5 points). The vendor must maintain $1 million per occurrence and $2 million general aggregate commercial general liability insurance, workers' compensation at Georgia statutory limits, current health department permits, and ensure all employees pass state and federal criminal background checks.
