RFP 2025-1125 Fresh Sushi Bar

Texas Tech University (TTU) is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Fresh Sushi Bar to be operated on the TTU campus. TTU is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide all labor and materials necessary to operate a sushi bar and sell sushi and sushi-related products at various locations on the TTU campus. The selected vendor will be responsible for supplying sushi and sushi-related items, with TTU providing the necessary equipment and infrastructure. The RFP outlines mandatory requirements, quality measures, and evaluation criteria, which include pricing, the vendor's ability to fulfill TTU's needs, value-added options, and quality assurance. Proposals are due by October 25, 2024, and the anticipated contract term is four years, with up to four one-year renewal options. A site visit for the preparation area is scheduled for October 1, 2024, and vendors must confirm attendance by September 27, 2024.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent vendor, Sushi with Gusto, has been operating on the TTU campus for at least 10 years. The RFP indicates that the minimum commission rate is 25% of net sales, but TTU is open to higher offers from proposers. The RFP also allows for annual price increases up to 3% after the initial 24-month period. The specific award value or budget range is not provided in the available documentation.
