The RFP seeks a qualified vendor to manage comprehensive food and beverage operations including catering for events and exhibitions, concession stands, permanent food court operations, alcohol service, vending, mobile food units, and restaurant and bar operations. The facility annually hosts approximately 300 event days serving over 350,000 guests. A mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for December 8, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., immediately followed by a mandatory site visit. Sealed proposals are due by January 23, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal. The contract term is five years with an optional five-year renewal.

Evaluation will be based on firm experience (30%), project team qualifications (20%), responsiveness to scope (20%), cost (10%), criminal history screening (5%), and Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) participation (15%). The compensation model utilizes a hybrid commission arrangement where the vendor receives gross receipts and pays a fixed commission to TCC, with requirements to establish 3.5% Equipment Repair Maintenance & Replacement and 1.5% Advertising and Promotions accrual funds. The current incumbent, Aramark Corporation, manages operations with projected gross revenues of approximately $15.9 million in fiscal year 2025. Proposers must have at least 20 years of convention food and beverage services experience, be prepared to make significant capital investments in infrastructure, pay 1% of total gross receipts for utilities, maintain minimum staffing levels, and achieve at least 85% guest satisfaction scores. SLBE participation documentation and certification certificates are required submissions.
