-- TL 9 can manage 20 year food storage
-- TL 10 can manage 40 year food storage
- Small TL 8 bunkers would start opening 1,3,5 or up to 10 years after the End. This is pre AtE.
- Some gardening would be required to maintain viable seed stocks
- Livestock with the possible exception of fish would probably not survive in shelters without special planning.
- Basic tools would be present but little machinery
- A larger shelter would likely have a water source and power generation

Something like this could be really useful for campaigns that begin (or run into) Building 710 at the Denver Federal Center.

Now, that's meant to be more of a short-term facility -- 30 days of survival, at the most, but you could expand it pretty easily, for campaign purposes. Just add a couple more underground levels, by fiat.

That said, it's a pretty cool site, as-is. There's even a U.S. Army Reserve vehicle pool and storage site, on the north end of the Federal Center, less than a mile away.

You can see that, pretty easily, too:
