S--STEWART L. UDALL BUILDING COFFEE SHOP OPERATIONS

The U.S. Department of the Interior is conducting market research via a Request for Information to identify qualified vendors for the operation of a retail coffee shop located on the basement level of the Stewart L. Udall Building in Washington, DC. The intended service is a concession-style model where the vendor operates at its own expense and risk to provide coffee and light refreshments for approximately 1,000 building occupants. Anticipated operating hours are Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. While the government intends to provide the designated space, a service counter, and access to electricity and water, the vendor is responsible for all staffing, equipment, furnishings, point-of-sale systems, and consumables. The operator must adhere to all food safety, sanitation, and licensing requirements, while coordinating with the government on security access and facility management. Interested sources are requested to submit company information, staffing plans, facility requirements, and mobilization timelines by November 13, 2026. The government will also host an Industry Day on November 19, 2026. As this is an RFI for market research purposes, it does not constitute a formal solicitation or a contractual commitment.
