    • https://www.env.nm.gov/fod/Food_Program/
      Food vendors will be required to submit a copy of their NMED food permit to the International Space Hall of Fame Foundation no later than June 25, 2022. Approval of Temporary Food Establishment (TFE) permit applications can take up to 10 business days, therefore, be sure to apply in plenty of time to have an approved certificate to present to the ISHFF by the deadline. If you have an annually permitted or unpermitted, self-contained mobile unit (e.g., food trucks and trailers) please contact NMED to discuss your operation and determine if any other additional food permit(s) are required. Please note, fees for permit applications must be made in the form of a check or money order to NMED (i.e., cash is not accepted).

      NMED staff may conduct a food establishment inspection of any food booths, trucks or trailers prior to opening and at any time for the total duration of the Independence Day Event. All rules and regulations must be followed during the total length of the hours of operation during the Big Bang Event. ISHFF management will also closely monitor all food vendors. Any food vendor that is not compliant with NMED inspectors or contractual agreements made with the ISHFF management or fail to adhere to the Rules and Regulations may be subject to additional enforcement action to include but not limited to closure and/or a $250 fee. Per ISHFF, violators will not be allowed to re-apply for subsequent years of the ISHFF Big Bang Event.

      Food vendors are to sell ONLY the items/merchandise for which they have been approved during the application process; any deviation from the approved menu must be cleared by NMED and ISHFF. Any menu changes that have not been pre-approved may result in the loss of participation.
