About this IDV
Houstons Trail's End, Inc., a small business Subchapter S corporation based in Kanab, Utah and operating as Houston's Catering, Inc., was awarded a $15 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service National Interagency Fire Center on July 1, 2025, set aside for total small business participation. The contract establishes the contractor as a primary vendor for National Mobile Food Service Unit support across wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and severity/preparedness assignments throughout the western United States. Under this parent Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity contract, the contractor provides comprehensive catering and mobile food service solutions, including hot and cold meals, sack lunches, and supplemental food items delivered directly at incident sites ranging from urban areas to remote primitive locations. The contract incorporates commercial, performance-based pricing structures with fixed-price delivery orders utilizing economic price adjustment provisions. The initial contract period extends through December 31, 2025, with potential for four additional one-year renewal periods, providing a maximum five-year contract duration through December 31, 2029.
Four delivery orders totaling approximately $3.67 million have been issued under this parent contract as of August 31, 2025, demonstrating active mobilization across multiple Forest Service regions. These task orders include performance locations at Cedar City, Utah ($1.28 million; Region 4—Intermountain Region); Taos, New Mexico ($300,594; Region 3—Southwestern Region); Worland, Wyoming ($426,026; awarded August 17, 2025); and Grand Canyon Village, Arizona ($1.66 million; awarded August 31, 2025), with all orders scheduled for completion by December 31, 2025. The underlying solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation notice on February 6, 2025, specifically targeted small business contractors capable of delivering nutritionally balanced meals with complete meal preparation infrastructure at incident command sites. The procurement conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulations Parts 12 and 15 employed a two-phase evaluation methodology, awarding parent Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity contracts to technically acceptable and reasonably priced offerors in Phase 1, with subsequent delivery order competitions utilizing a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable selection approach.
