Catering Solicitation No. 693JK426R500001 for DOT Secretary’s 58th Annual Awards Ceremony

The Department of Transportation (DOT) is seeking a single fixed‑price purchase order to provide full catering services—including food and floral arrangements—for an event scheduled from May 7 2026 through June 19 2026. Proposals must be submitted on a fixed‑price basis; the contracting officer will not require disclosure of labor rates, overhead, fringe, G&A, or profit percentages. While the DOT Building is a federal enclave and therefore exempt from most District‑of‑Columbia catering, kitchen, and food‑handling licenses, the awardee must still hold a current, valid DC license to perform the type of catering described. All applicable Department of Labor wage determinations and regulations apply. No page‑length or font‑size limits are imposed, provided the proposal is easily readable. Offerors must have a UEI in SAM.gov and, on the front page, disclose their average annual gross revenue for the past five years and a good‑faith determination of small‑business status under NAICS 722320. Evaluation will be based equally on (1) Technical Plan compliance with DOT specifications, (2) Past Performance (minimum three references, preferably federal, from the last 3‑5 years), (3) Relevant Experience, and (4) the total fixed‑price amount. The Government may award to the best‑value offeror, not necessarily the lowest price, and reserves a small‑business preference when a small business presents a competitively strong proposal. The Contracting Officer’s Representative is Ms. Trina Redmond (trina.redmond@dot.gov). No government‑furnished property, travel, or parking will be provided.
