About this opportunity
The Department of State US Embassy Athens has awarded contract 19GR1026P0569 to Deipnosofistirion S.A. for catering services supporting the 250th anniversary celebration of American Independence on a sole-source basis, with a contract value of €226,190.
The justification cites 41 USC 3304 and FAR 6.103-1 (only one responsible source). Deipnosofistirion is the sole caterer contractually permitted to operate at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) Lighthouse and Lighthouse Terraces per venue policies. The company is an internationally recognized catering firm with over 25 years of experience and manages Delta, the only two-Michelin-Star restaurant in Greece, located on-site, enabling coordination efficiency and on-site food preparation. The contracting officer determined cost as fair and reasonable based on contractor quality, comparisons with previous Embassy events, and event complexity. Market research conducted January through March 2026 evaluated more than a dozen event spaces, identifying SNFCC as the only suitable venue for this historic event.
The event is scheduled for July 2, 2026, from 19:00 to 24:00 at the SNFCC Lighthouse, Lighthouse Terraces, and Panoramic Steps, hosting 3,000 guests including Greek leaders and an A-level musical artist. Services include passed hors d'oeuvres and themed standing food stations featuring quintessential American foods including barbecue and fast food options, with vegetarian and gluten-free alternatives. The contractor must staff sufficient personnel to serve all 3,000 guests with minimal wait time across multiple event spaces and provide a range of high-quality alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. American companies will provide in-kind donations of American food and beverages displayed alongside contractor offerings. Place of performance is Athens, Greece.
