Food Vendor Opportunity Available

NYCEDC seeks to grant food vendor licenses for Hunts Point Landing. Interested parties must respond to the license RFP for Space at Hunts Point Landing. Responses will be accepted on an ongoing basis for the 2012 season. Minority/Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) are encouraged to apply (to be certified as an M/WBE please call 311 or go to www.nyc.gov/getcertified).

Hunts Point Landing is a new public open space located at the southern end of the Hunts Point peninsula, adjacent to the New Fulton Fish Market. Hunts Point Landing was created from a former street end that served as an informal fishing location and will include a new fishing pier, a shoreline ecological restoration project, a kayak launch, and passive recreational areas. Located off of Food Center Drive, Hunts Point Landing will be accessible by bus and a network of pedestrian and bicycle pathways that are part of the overall South Bronx Greenway. Hunts Point Landing is approximately one acre and is scheduled to open in August 2012.

Prior to operation, a food vendor who has received a license from NYCEDC to operate in Hunts Point Landing must obtain a Mobile Food Vendor (MFV) Unit Permit through NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which indicates that the unit has passed an inspection and meets Health Code Requirements. To obtain this permit, a food vendor must first meet the Department of Health’s prerequisites. Information about obtaining a MFV Unit Permit is located here.

General vendor licenses are not currently available. The maximum number of General Vendor licenses that New York City Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) issues to non-veterans is limited by law to 853. DCA’s waiting list for non-veteran applicants is currently closed. The waiting list will not re-open for further registration until DCA has run through the current pool of non-veteran applicants. Visit the DCA website for additional information.
