19N15026Q0004 - SOLICITATION FOR CATERING SERVICES

The U.S. Consulate General Lagos, Nigeria, is soliciting a qualified and security-screenable commercial catering company to provide professional, safe, and sanitary catering services for official government functions. This Firm-Fixed-Price, Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract covers a period of performance from October 15, 2026, to October 14, 2027. The contractor must be capable of managing events ranging from small gatherings of 10 people to large events of up to 1,000 persons, providing all necessary labor, food, beverages, equipment, transportation, and cleanup. Services include various formats such as buffet, plated, boxed, and cocktail-style meals, with a strong emphasis on food safety, allergen identification, and professional staffing. The contract is performance-oriented, requiring 100 percent compliance with critical food-safety and security access requirements, and at least 95 percent on-time performance. Because services are performed at a U.S. diplomatic facility, security vetting is a material requirement for all personnel. Offerors must submit a technical approach, food-safety program summary, company qualifications, and a completed price schedule by the deadline of September 30, 2026, at 4:00 pm. Valid quotes must be sent as a direct email reply to the solicitation with the original subject line and include specific delivery terms.
