Forest Service National Mobile Food Service Unit 2025 - 2029

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center established this multiple-award Master IDIQ on July 1, 2025, to procure mobile food service support for fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and severity/preparedness assignments across the western United States, with ordering authority extending through December 31, 2029. The vehicle is fully set aside for small business.

Ordering activity has been robust. The vehicle awarded 113 task orders between July 9, 2025, and July 1, 2026, including 77 orders in 2025 and 36 through early July 2026. The combined potential value across all task orders stands at $151.1 million, with $105.8 million (70% of combined potential value) already obligated. Task orders show a typical value range from approximately $30,000 to several million dollars per order, with fixed-price or fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment pricing structures. Recent designated dispatch point (DDP) orders awarded in May and June 2026 carry larger ceiling values extending through December 31, 2030, ranging from $1.1 million to $7.4 million in potential value.

Five primes dominate the vehicle. Houston's Too LC, Thunder MTN Catering Inc., and Big Sky Mobile Catering Corp lead by potential value, with combined totals of $21.9 million, $17.5 million, and $17.2 million respectively. R & G Food Services Inc. and GFP Mobile Food Services, LLC round out the top tier at $15.2 million and $12.1 million combined potential value. Together, these five firms hold 56% of combined potential value across 57 task orders.

Customer concentration is heavy within Forest Service regional operations. The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) leads with 16 orders totaling $53.8 million in combined potential value, followed by Forest Service Headquarters with 43 orders at $28.4 million, Pacific Southwest Region (R5) with 14 orders at $25.1 million, and Pacific Northwest Region (R6) with 12 orders at $19.7 million. These four entities account for approximately 85% of all orders.

Set-aside execution shows a roughly two-to-one split favoring unrestricted awards. Approximately 65% of the 113 orders carry no set-aside designation, while 35% are designated Total Small Business. Recent June and July 2026 awards predominantly employ the Total Small Business set-aside, particularly for the DDP-related orders.

Performance spans the western United States and remote incident locations, with no specific geographic restriction stated in the vehicle description.
