Request for Information (RFI) Obtaining Food Franchise Rights in Washington, DC - Northern Capital Region (NCR)

The FBI is seeking input from qualified organizations on how to obtain and operate food franchise rights within the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, DC. This RFI is purely informational and will help the agency understand franchise agreement structures, capital requirements, licensing, royalty, food‑safety standards, and any precedents for operating food services in secure federal facilities. Respondents are asked to provide documentation, points of contact, marketing materials, and procedural information about direct‑engagement models where the FBI contracts directly with individual franchise brands rather than a master contractor. The deadline for submissions is September 21, 2026. • Focus on food‑service franchise operations in a government‑controlled environment. • Provide details on agreement terms, build‑out costs, equipment, branding, and compliance requirements. • Highlight any prior experience with federal, military, or other access‑controlled venues. • Offer insights on licensing, royalties, territory, and food‑safety/supply‑chain considerations. • No award or contract is implied; this is a planning‑stage information gathering effort.
