About this opportunity
The Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) is seeking a subcontractor to provide cafeteria, catering, and vending services at its Newport News, VA location. The future solicitation will focus on a non-subsidized food service contract where the selected vendor will generate revenue directly through point-of-sale transactions. Contractors should be prepared to operate with full financial risk, as the subcontract will be structured on a pure profit or loss basis. The facility will authorize the use of its federal facilities at no cost to the subcontractor, specifically for food service operations. Interested parties must register for the Request for Information (RFI) through the Jefferson Lab Solicitation Bulletin Board, with responses due by February 1, 2025.
The solicitation does not have a specific set-aside designation, indicating that it is open to all qualified vendors in the Food Service Contractors (NAICS 722310) category. No incumbent contractor details were provided in the pre-solicitation notice. The contract appears to be structured as a performance-based agreement where the subcontractor's financial success depends entirely on their ability to generate revenue through cafeteria, catering, and vending services. While specific award values are not mentioned, the contract represents an opportunity to operate food services at a federal scientific research facility. The contract timeline suggests a potential award and service commencement in early 2025, with the subcontractor expected to manage all aspects of food service operations independently.
