Quick Summary

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is soliciting proposals for Food Services at its J. Edgar Hoover (JEH) Headquarters Building in Washington, D.C., with potential for services in the National Capital Region (NCR). This opportunity is for a contractor to establish, manage, and operate cafeteria services, including existing franchised businesses like Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks, for approximately 4,000 occupants (Federal Government employees and supporting contractors). The Randolph-Sheppard Act applies, affording priority to qualified blind vendors licensed by the DC Rehabilitation Services Administration.

Scope of Work

The contractor will operate a large cafeteria (33,872 sq ft) and a standalone cafe (2,914 sq ft), providing cafeteria-style food service. Services include food preparation, sales, and catering for special events. The Government will provide JEH spaces, utilities, and equipment. Key performance standards include specific hours of operation (Starbucks/Dunkin' 6 AM - 4 PM, Cafeteria 7 AM - 2 PM, weekdays only), customer service, sanitation, and menu planning with dietitian involvement. All personnel require background investigations for unescorted access.

Contract & Timeline

  • Type: Hybrid contract, primarily a no-cost, sales-based model where revenue is generated through food sales, with a potential award-fee and a cost-type element for minor equipment repair (up to $30,000 annually).
  • Period of Performance: A one-year base period starting August 13, 2026, followed by four (4) one-year option periods. A 30-day transition period is anticipated from July 13 to August 13, 2026.
  • Site Visit: May 12, 2026, at 9:30 AM EST. Interested parties must submit required information (Full Name, Company, SSN, DOB, POB, Citizenship) to the CO/CS by May 7, 2026, 12:00 PM EST. Maximum two individuals per company.
  • Proposals Due: June 8, 2026, 12:00 PM EST.
  • Anticipated Award Date: July 13, 2026.

Eligibility & Set-Aside

This procurement is issued on a full and open competitive basis, but the Randolph-Sheppard Act applies, requiring priority to be afforded to qualified blind vendors licensed by the DC Rehabilitation Services Administration.

Evaluation
