About this opportunity
The Department of Defense Concessions Committee (DoDCC) is seeking a vendor to operate a retail baked goods store within the Pentagon's Concourse in Arlington, VA. The solicitation, anticipated for release in May/June 2025, will be a competitive License Agreement for managing a 1,156 sq. ft. retail space. Interested companies must submit a three-page expression of interest and statement of qualifications by May 2, 2025, to be considered for the opportunity. The successful vendor will be responsible for selling pre-packaged baked goods, party and gift packages, and associated retail items, with the understanding that no on-site manufacturing is possible due to lack of kitchen space. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, vendors will likely be assessed on their retail experience, ability to manage a concession space, and proposed business approach.
The contract opportunity is not designated as a small business set-aside and will have a base performance period of five years with two potential five-year option periods. The current space is currently occupied by an AT&T store, which will remain in place until mid-October 2025. The solicitation falls under NAICS category 445291 for Baked Goods Retailers and PSC category 8920 for Bakery and Cereal Products. Specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice.
