North Terminal Complex (NTC) - Concessions Package 13

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) is seeking competitive proposals for Concession Package 13, a Food and Beverage Concession located in Airside 2 of the North Terminal Complex at Orlando International Airport. The procurement specifically targets a 3,995 square foot casual dining restaurant with a 10-year lease term, targeting an opening in June 2026. The concession opportunity requires a locally branded restaurant with a contemporary dining environment, offering a diverse menu including appetizers, entrees, side dishes, desserts, and a children's menu with meaningful dietary options such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and kosher selections. Proposers must provide a full-service bar with craft cocktails and local beers, maximize seating within lease lines, and offer a convenient takeaway area for passengers. The evaluation criteria will assess proposals based on ACDBE participation, customer service, demonstrated experience, concept quality, menu variety, pricing, concession improvements, and financial return to the Aviation Authority. Key dates include a pre-proposal meeting on February 7, 2025, with proposals due on April 25, 2025.

The Aviation Authority has established an Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) Participation Goal of 30.0 percent, requiring proposers to either meet or exceed this goal or demonstrate good faith efforts. Financial requirements include a Minimum Annual Concession Fee of $862,000 and a Minimum Initial Improvement Investment of $600 per square foot for food service, $200 per square foot for seating, and $500 per square foot for retail. The concession opportunity emphasizes sustainability, mandating compostable packaging, contactless ordering, and restrictions on single-use serviceware. Proposers are encouraged to incorporate voluntary specifications such as organic and locally sourced products, sustainable seafood, and environmentally friendly practices. The total concessions program spans 201,474 square feet across food & beverage and retail spaces, with award limitations restricting any single proposer to no more than 20% of the food and beverage program and 25% of the retail program based on square footage.
