Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing catering services for official conferences and meetings at their Boulder, CO campus. These services will be needed on an as-needed basis for events ranging from 20 to 325 attendees, lasting 1-5 days. The contractor must be located within 50 miles of the NIST Boulder Campus. Services may be provided on-site or off-site within the same radius. NIST events require catering for continental breakfasts, lunches, coffee breaks with snacks, and reception fare, with specific per-person cost limitations for breakfast and lunch. The solicitation also outlines requirements for delivery, setup, breakdown, attendant services, and equipment, including compostable paper goods and trash removal. NIST anticipates issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) in the fourth quarter of FY 2026.
