Mess/Community tents

I work for an outdoor retailer and I recently had a customer who was headed on a trip overseas and he was looking for a community base camp tent. He wasn't exactly mountaineering, but I figured the traditional "mess tent" I've seen over and over in pictures and videos of big expedition base camps would suffice. Requirements were 3-6 week stay, needs to be packable, and has to have room for a kitchen and small table for a few people, plus can't break the bank.

Something like the blue tent pictured right behind the yellow tent, or the other yellow tent I circled in the background. (Note picture was from a google search of Everest base camp).

Who makes these, and where do you get them? This is more for my personal understanding, so a link to a website or something would suffice. I spent some time searching the internet and really couldn't find anything that met the description.

Not exactly mountaineering means...
