Street Vending Details for 2013 Inauguration 

The Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs is pleased to announce street vending license details for Inauguration Day on Monday, January 21, 2013.

Step 6. Inspections.  All Inaugural Vendors must complete a health inspection that will be conducted by the Department of Health (DOH).  Upon receiving your actual DCRA Inaugural vending license, DCRA will inform each vendor of the date, time and location of their respective health inspections.  You must complete and pass this inspection in order to vend during the inaugural events.  Any vendor who fails to complete this last piece of the process will NOT be able to vend during the inauguration.  NO REFUNDS will be issued for failure to complete this last step.

DOH’s FSHISD will schedule a vending inspection round-up prior to the commencement of events. This round-up will occur on Friday, January 18, 2013 and Saturday, January 19, 2013, beginning at 7:00 a.m. During this time, approved vendors will receive a DOH Inaugural sticker valid for work during the Inauguration period only.  The round-up will be used to check compliance with the DC Food Code as well as other applicable vending regulations pursuant to District of Columbia rules and regulations. For additional information or questions regarding 2013 Presidential Inaugural Food Vending, please contact the DOH Food Safety & Hygiene Inspection Services Division at (202) 535-2042.  DOH must inspect all mobile food trucks prior to any Inaugural Vending.  After DOH completes their inspection, you will be given final approval to operate your food service for Inauguration 2013.
