The Columbia Caf? is a space of approximately 1800 square feet on the ninth floor of the NASA Headquarters building. This includes the kitchen area (approximately 600 square feet, which includes food storage, refrigeration and dish-washing equipment). (Plan attached) The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to identify any potential entities that could provide this service.

Items may include cereals, eggs, breads, soup, salads, specialty sandwiches, fruit, etc. The format shall not include selling food by weight. Other suggestions will be entertained. Potential for occasional light catering for NASA sponsored special events with supporting personnel and supplies are acceptable but not required. The vendor is encouraged to promote the nutritional and health values such as high fiber, reduced fat/cholesterol, and reduced calories where possible. All applicable building, health, sanitary and other regulation and laws shall be observed. The vendor shall staff the operation with suitable personnel, trained and certified in the food service industry. Reasonable care shall be exercised in the use of space and Government owned equipment. Access to the facility is restricted and proposed personnel must pass a security clearance.

In return, NASA will provide the space, known as 9G41, the Dining Room, 9J39, the storage, production and office to support and manage the operation, pay all utilities and janitorial costs associated with the operation of the food service, provide kitchen equipment, maintenance and repair of the inventoried equipment as listed on the attached sheet.
