The United States Coast Guard, under the Department of Homeland Security, is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential vendors capable of providing comprehensive full food services at USCG Sector Houston-Galveston in Texas. The procurement seeks a contractor to manage all aspects of dining facility operations, including meal preparation, cooking, serving, stocking, equipment maintenance, and cashier services for active duty personnel, reservists, and civilian government employees. Key requirements include maintaining diverse menu offerings with specific standards such as serving Certified Angus steak weekly and operating a 21-item salad bar, while ensuring compliance with health regulations and sanitation standards. The Performance Work Statement specifies normal operating hours of 0630-0745 for breakfast and 1130-1245 for lunch on weekdays, with modified schedules on weekends during reserve drill periods. Interested vendors must submit their qualifications and organizational information to Mr. Vince Zentner at vince.e.zentner@uscg.mil by the deadline of December 30, 2025, with this being a voluntary submission for market research purposes only, not a formal solicitation.

This RFI carries no set-aside designations and does not identify any incumbent contractors. The government has not disclosed a specific award value or budget range for this requirement, though historical operational data indicates the dining facility serves an average of approximately 800 breakfasts and 1,900 lunches per month, with potential variations during holiday periods and reserve drill weekends. Responses should include basic organizational information such as company name, address, contact details, website, business size and ownership type, and any applicable socioeconomic program registrations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or RSA certifications. The applicable NAICS code for this procurement is 722310 (Food Service Contractors), and the PSC category is S203 (Housekeeping-Food). This RFI represents the preliminary stage of the procurement process, and the government assumes no financial responsibility for costs incurred in responding and is not obligated to issue a formal solicitation.
