About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement is soliciting quotations for food concession services at the Stewart Lee Udall Building in Washington, D.C. The contractor will establish and operate a full-service cafeteria and coffee bar serving approximately 650 full-time DOI staff and 50-100 daily visitors, providing breakfast and lunch services that comply with U.S. Dietary Guidelines, sustainability requirements, and responsible antibiotic-use policies. Key requirements include maintaining high sanitation standards, using USDA-grade ingredients, supporting LEED sustainability goals, providing a point-of-sale system, and potentially offering catering services for DOI events. The government will evaluate quotations based on technical factors (staffing plan, quality control, deliverable schedule, and past performance) and proposed pricing, with technical factors weighted more heavily than price. Critical deadlines include a quotation submission deadline of January 21, 2026 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, with anticipated oral presentations scheduled between January 25-29, 2026, and vendors must submit a 15-page technical volume and 30-slide oral presentation to william.rilee@bsee.gov.
This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside with NAICS code 722514 (Cafeterias, Grill Buffets, and Buffets) and a small business size standard of $34.0 million. The contract is structured as a no-cost arrangement with a base period of three years plus two one-year option periods, for a potential total performance period of five years if all options are exercised. No incumbent contractor information is identified in the solicitation documents, and no specific award value is stated; however, vendors must demonstrate pricing reasonableness and fairness despite the no-cost nature of the contract. The contractor will be responsible for all operational aspects including equipment procurement and maintenance, staffing, menu development, and waste management, while the government will provide operational space, utilities, and certain equipment. The place of performance is the basement level of the Stewart Lee Udall Building in Washington, D.C., and interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and maintain Commercial General Liability insurance with minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence.
