The contract, issued on July 1, 2025, is structured as a firm fixed-price delivery order with a ceiling value of $614,737.20 and a completion date of June 30, 2028. Columbia Street Catering, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and sole proprietorship operated by Michael John Hoshko and based in San Diego, California, specializes in providing boxed meal services to MEPS facilities across multiple states.

The contract aligns with the Department of the Army's established procurement strategy of utilizing small business set-aside designations and single-award indefinite delivery contracts with Columbia Street Catering for specialized meal services. The vendor's demonstrated track record of delivering consistent meal support across multiple MEPS locations nationwide, combined with its small disadvantaged business certification, positions the company as a reliable logistics partner for the military's recruitment and processing operations.
