Request for Information (RFI) : Obtaining Food Franchise Rights in Washington, DC - National Capital Region (NCR)
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to gather detailed input from qualified organizations regarding the requirements, processes, and opportunities associated with obtaining food franchise rights within the National Capital Region (NCR), Washington, DC.
Organizations responding to this RFI are requested to provide all relevant documentation, points of contact, marketing materials, and procedural information. This RFI is for planning and informational purposes only and does not obligate the Government to pursue any further action or future solicitation.
Direct Engagement Model – Industry Feedback Requested
In addition to information on obtaining food franchise rights generally, the FBI is specifically interested in understanding the feasibility and attractiveness of a direct-engagement model, in which the FBI would contract or otherwise arrange directly with individual food franchise brands (rather than through a single master food-service contractor) to provide food service operations within the J. Edgar Hoover Building (JEH), Washington, DC.
What the FBI should understand about this model:
- Typical franchise agreement structures, term lengths, and capital investment requirements (buildout, equipment, branding) when a franchisor/franchisee operates within a federal government-controlled facility rather than a traditional commercial or retail location
- Licensing, royalty, and territory considerations that may apply or require modification for a single-tenant government building
- Food safety, supply chain, and operational standards the franchise would need to meet or adapt to operate within a secure federal facility
- Any precedent for franchise operations within federal buildings, military installations, or other access-controlled environments, and lessons learned from those arrangements
All responses must be submitted to:
- Ms. McKenzie P. Bucher, contact@example.gov
- Mr. Tom Teets, contact@example.gov
Please provide all requested information no later than September 21, 2026, at 12:00 PM EDT.
