The City of Carlsbad is soliciting proposals for the full operation of three concession stands at the Bob Forrest Youth Sports Complex. Under this multi-year agreement, the contractor assumes sole responsibility for all operations, including the provision of labor, inventory, food products, and supplies, while the City maintains the building infrastructure.

Preference points are available for New Mexico resident vendors and resident veterans or Native American businesses with annual revenues up to 6 million dollars. Proposals must be submitted through the procurement portal by November 13, 2026, and must include a statement of concurrence, a campaign contribution disclosure form, and a letter of transmittal.
