About this opportunity
The Department of Justice is soliciting a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RSQ) from qualified vendors to establish and operate a foodservice facility at the RFK Main Justice Building in Washington, DC. The contractor will be responsible for the full operation of the cafeteria, including the sale of food, non-alcoholic beverages, and other government-authorized items, with the contractor retaining all sales revenue generated from operations. The facility must serve approximately 1,000 DOJ employees and include a main cafeteria, private dining room, and catering services, operating Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Evaluation will be based on three primary factors in descending order of importance: technical approach (including food quality, menu planning, and profitability strategy), management and staffing approach (including transition and staffing plans), and past performance. All questions must be submitted by February 6, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and Statements of Qualifications must be submitted by February 18, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to Andrew S. Martin at Andrew.S.Martin@usdoj.gov. Optional site visits are available on February 3rd and February 5th at 3:00 p.m. for prospective offerors to review the facility.
This is a full and open competition with no set-aside designation under NAICS code 722310 (Food Service Contractors) with a $47.0 million size standard. The government will provide a monthly stipend of up to $2,000 to offset operational losses, with the contractor required to demonstrate financial viability and profitability in their technical submission. The base contract period is three years with options for four one-year extensions, with an anticipated award around March 2026. Responses must include two separate volumes: Volume I addressing the technical submission and Statement of Work requirements, and Volume II containing no more than three past performance references submitted directly by references using the Past Performance Questionnaire. All contractor personnel will be subject to a Public Trust Investigation and background checks requiring at least 90 days for completion, with extensive security and confidentiality requirements applicable to the selected contractor. The facility spans 13,742 square feet and is located at 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20530, with the government providing most necessary kitchen equipment.
