Blanket Purchase Agreement W91SMC23A0001

The Department of the Army Illinois Army National Guard awarded a single-award blanket purchase agreement (BPA) with a potential value of $5,000,000 to Morris Bradley L doing business as Theophilus Government Solutions. The BPA is for statewide catering services in Illinois. Against this BPA, the Army awarded multiple firm fixed-price calls from April 2023 through September 2023 to provide meals, training, and other unspecified services and products in support of operations in locations including Springfield, Freeport, Riverside, and Chicago, Illinois. The calls did not utilize any small business set-asides and had values ranging from $81 to $59,208.45.

The originating solicitation sought proposals to provide catered meals to support training at four Army locations in central and northern Illinois from September to October 2021, with a total small business set-aside. While details of work performed under the BPA calls are limited, they appear to efficiently fulfill recurring requirements for sustenance and support of Army and National Guard personnel as the agency executes programs throughout Illinois. The BPA and associated calls allow the Army to order services on an as-needed basis while leveraging competitive pricing negotiated upfront with the prime contractor, Theophilus Government Solutions.
