The Missouri Office of Administration - Facilities Management, Design & Construction (OA-FMDC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) FMDC21-0023 for food services at the cafe located in the basement of the Missouri State Capitol Building in Jefferson City, Missouri. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide comprehensive restaurant and catering services, with an initial contract term from January 2021 through December 2021 and two optional one-year renewal periods for 2022 and 2023. Key procurement dates include a pre-proposal conference on October 14, 2020, a mandatory site tour on October 28, 2020, and a bid submission deadline of October 31, 2020 at 3:00 PM CDT. Bidders are required to submit monthly rental amounts for each month of the contract period, with the contract being awarded to the most responsive and responsible bidder offering the highest monthly rent. The solicitation requires vendors to complete and submit all required exhibits, particularly Exhibit A, through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system, with both electronic and hard copy submissions mandated.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside requirements or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, indicating the opportunity is open to all vendors. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no mentioned preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. The documents do not disclose a specific estimated total contract value, but the structure suggests a revenue-generating agreement where the selected vendor will pay monthly rent to operate the cafe. Pricing is required for the initial contract term (January 2021 through December 2021) and two potential renewal periods, with vendors expected to propose their own monthly rental amounts. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor.
