Food & Beverage and Retail Concessions

The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA) has issued this Request for Proposals (RFP) with the sole purpose and intent of obtaining sealed proposals (Proposal) from qualified and experienced concessionaires (Respondents) to design, develop, manage, and operate food & beverage and retail concessions at Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO, or Airport). This opportunity is driven by expiring concession agreements and the redevelopment of the Airport's concourses and terminal facilities under the MoreRNO capital program, as further described in Section 2.2, MoreRNO Infrastructure Program. RTAA seeks Respondents capable of delivering high-quality, innovative concepts that enhance the passenger experience, reflect the Reno-Tahoe region's character, and support long-term revenue performance, sustainability, brand diversity, and small business participation. Concession opportunities are organized into multiple packages across food & beverage and retail categories, located within New Concourse A & B, the Terminal Connector, and select pre-security areas, as detailed in Section 3, Description of Business Opportunities. Respondents may submit Proposals for one or more packages, subject to the requirements set forth in this RFP. RTAA prefers to award food & beverage and retail packages to multiple operators to promote competition and program diversity but reserves the right to award as determined to be in the best interest of the Airport. If awarded, a Non-Exclusive Concession Lease (Agreement) will be effective on the date the Agreement is approved by the RTAA Board of Trustees, signed by all required parties, and filed with the Director of Contracts & Procurement. The development schedule and phased openings outlined in this RFP are subject to change based on MoreRNO construction phasing. As is more fully explained in Section 12, Evaluation & Award Process, awards, if made, will be made to the best overall Respondent whose Proposal is most advantageous to the RTAA, taking into consideration the evaluation criteria set forth in this RFP. The RTAA reserves the right to not award an Agreement as the issuance of this RFP does not guarantee any subsequent award. Furthermore, the RTAA reserves the right to negotiate additional services and/or modify the Lease as deemed necessary to meet the needs of the Airport. A mandatory Pre-Proposal Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, commencing promptly at 10:00 AM [PDT], at 2001 E. Plumb Lane, Reno, NV 89502, in the River Room located across from Baggage Claim.
