2026-03 Cafe Vendor - Woodbridge Community & Cultural Center

The Town of Woodbridge, Connecticut is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation for a cafe vendor to operate food and beverage services at the newly renovated Old Firehouse Community and Cultural Center, located at the corner of Center and Newton Road. The selected vendor will be responsible for providing barista services and pre-prepared food and beverages in a welcoming cafe space that connects to an outdoor patio and a smaller event space suitable for group gatherings. The vendor must understand that no kitchen facility is available within the building, requiring all offerings to consist of pre-prepared items only. Key deliverables include the operation of the cafe counter, provision of beverage and food service, and the ability to accommodate community members and group events. The RFP was posted on April 7, 2026 at 1:00 PM EDT with a submission deadline of April 20, 2026 at 4:00 PM EDT. Interested vendors should direct inquiries to Anthony Genovese, Town of Woodbridge, 11 Meetinghouse Lane, Woodbridge, CT 06525, or agenovese@woodbridgect.gov. All vendors are eligible to respond to this opportunity, and vendors should specify their own payment terms as part of their proposal response.

No specific set-asides, disadvantaged enterprise designations, or restrictions on types of organizations eligible to respond are detailed in the available solicitation documentation. No incumbent vendor information or current contractor details are provided in the materials reviewed. An estimated total contract value or budget range is not specified in the available documentation. The solicitation specifies Free On Board (FOB) Destination delivery terms; however, given the nature of cafe operations at a fixed facility location, traditional delivery terms may not directly apply to this service-based procurement.
