Catering Service for U. S. Embassy Bern – Marine Security Guard Residence

The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Embassy Bern, is seeking a qualified catering service provider to deliver three freshly prepared meals daily (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) to Marine Security Guards stationed at the MSG Residence in Bern, Switzerland. The service must operate seven days per week, including weekends, with all meals prepared off-site at the provider's facility and delivered ready-to-eat to the residence. Eligible providers must be licensed in Switzerland and demonstrate substantial experience in catering and daily meal delivery operations while maintaining full compliance with Swiss hygiene and safety regulations. The Contracting Officer's Representative will evaluate submissions based on the provider's ability to submit and execute a rotating menu plan, ensure reliable meal delivery logistics, and maintain all required regulatory compliance. Interested parties must submit their responses to bernGSOcontracting@state.gov by May 15, 2026, with the pre-solicitation notice having been posted on April 30, 2026.

The procurement carries no set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractor or award value information has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The contract will be awarded for an initial one-year term with options for extension contingent upon satisfactory performance. The service scope encompasses preparing and delivering meals for seven Marines on a daily basis throughout the contract period. No on-site kitchen staff or cooking facilities will be required at the Marine Security Guard Residence, as the selected vendor will be responsible for all meal preparation at their own facility. Specific delivery logistics, including the exact address of the MSG Residence and detailed contract specifications, will be provided to the selected contractor upon award.
