EXT AIR | RFQ 50455 As-Needed Catering Services

San Francisco International Airport (SFO), a department of the City and County of San Francisco in California, is issuing Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 50455 to establish an ongoing prequalified pool of local food businesses capable of providing as-needed catering, dining, and food services for airport staff and employees. This is a continuous procurement with no specific closing deadline, allowing vendors to submit qualifications on a rolling basis through an online intake form at https://cater.sfoprocure.com/intake and the Airport's e-Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/sfo/projects/247719. Interested caterers must initially provide basic business information including contact details and descriptions of the types of food they serve. To achieve prequalified supplier status and be added to the prequalified pool, vendors must submit evidence of county Health Department certification and proof of registration as a City Approved Supplier on the SF City Partner portal. The RFQ emphasizes partnerships with local food businesses and does not specify detailed evaluation criteria beyond the basic qualifications and certifications required. Submissions are evaluated as they are received on an ongoing basis, with no single submission deadline established for this procurement opportunity.

The available documentation does not identify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular organization types, such as disadvantaged enterprises or women or minority-owned businesses. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requirements for integration are listed in the procurement materials. Similarly, the RFQ does not disclose contract values, budget ranges, pricing structures, award amounts, or specific contract terms and conditions. The procurement indicates that SFO will continuously add qualified vendors to its catering services roster as positions become available, suggesting this is an indefinite-quantity, as-needed arrangement rather than a fixed-value contract. Interested vendors should direct questions to Alfy Wong at chitatalfy.wong@flysfo.com through the designated e-Procurement Portal to obtain additional details regarding contract structure, anticipated service volumes, or other specifics not addressed in the summary documentation.
