Purchase Order 70Z03926PCGA00018

The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a $25,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Acorn Services Inc. (doing business as Acorn Food Services) on February 13, 2026, for campus visitation event sponsorship and catering services at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. The contract is set to be completed by February 1, 2027, and represents a continuation of Acorn's established role supporting the Academy's dining and food service operations. Acorn Services Inc., a Pennsylvania-based woman-owned small disadvantaged business, specializes in comprehensive food services and dining facility support to federal government agencies, particularly military installations. The company is a SAM.gov-registered prime contractor since 2001 with extensive experience serving the Coast Guard and other Department of Defense entities.

This purchase order is likely tied to or derived from Acorn's larger $35.5 million indefinite delivery vehicle contract with the U.S. Coast Guard for full food services at the USCG Academy, which was scheduled to run through August 2026. The specific visitation event support aligns with the Academy's recruitment and admissions objectives during the 2026-2027 academic year. As a non-set-aside contract, this award was competed on an unrestricted basis, though Acorn's status as a woman-owned small business strengthens its competitive position in federal procurement. The modest contract value reflects the limited scope of event-specific catering and support services rather than comprehensive dining facility operations.
