About this file
This document is Amendment No. 2 to a Smithsonian Institution Request for Proposals (RFP) #250268-0000 for Food Service Operations at the National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in Washington, DC. The amendment makes several key modifications: a facility walk-through is scheduled for September 3, 2025, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm EST; the deadline for offeror questions is revised to September 8, 2025, at 12:00 pm EST; and the proposal submission deadline is extended to October 6, 2025, at 12:00 pm EST.
The most significant change is the addition of food truck concessions to the RFP, with specific modifications to the original requirements. Unlike the previous mobile cart provisions, food truck proposals are not required to cover a minimum of two locations. The Smithsonian anticipates entering into a concession agreement for food truck services, with the sample agreement (Appendix D) to be included in the RFP. All other terms and conditions of the original RFP remain unchanged, and only authorized representatives from the Office of Contracting & Personal Property Management can make commitments regarding the solicitation.
