DOI Main Building Food Services RFQ

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), on behalf of the U.S. Department of the Interior, is issuing RFQ 140E0126Q0001 for full‑service food concession operations at the Stewart Lee Udall Building. The contractor will operate a cafeteria serving approximately 650 full‑time DOI employees (with variable attendance due to telework) and 50‑100 daily visitors, must meet federal wellness and sustainability standards, and be capable of scaling operations if the building population increases. Although the contract is classified as “no‑cost,” offerors must submit a detailed price list for all core menu items, a narrative explaining how menu prices were developed and how they compare to local commercial rates, any proposed discounts or revenue‑share arrangements, and supporting market‑price comparisons. Technical proposals must include past‑performance examples (e.g., cafeterias, catering, food trucks), assumptions, conditions or exceptions, and all required certifications and FAR clauses (e.g., SAM registration, 52.212‑3, 52.204‑7, 52.209‑11). Quotes will be evaluated first on technical merit (confidence rating) and then on price, with price becoming a major factor when technical scores are equal. The Government may award a single contract, conduct oral presentations with top‑ranked offerors, and reserves the right to reject all proposals or waive minor irregularities. Compliance with the listed FAR provisions, submission of the required forms, and clear identification of any assumptions or exceptions are critical to a successful bid.
