Accessibility:  The vending machines that comprise this location are located on ADA compliant property. Due to its remote location, transportation is the responsibility of the incumbent vendor and options may be limited.

Special Information or Requirements:  The vendor and his or her employees must pass a background check required by the property owners. The Vendor’s inability to pass clearance shall constitute disqualification. Employee clearance may create staffing challenges. The incumbent vendor will be responsible for the reassigning of conditioned storage space with the outgoing vendor or may secure off-site conditioned storage to store product; however, conditioned storage is very remote. Due to required off-site storage, the incumbent will be responsible for providing a vehicle with proper insurance and a driver to transport product to location. Be aware that the incumbent must have transparent containers required to go through an x-ray machine to allow product to enter federal facility.
