Meals for incident personnel

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) has awarded a non-IT goods contract to In-N-Out Burgers for meal provisions during incident response operations. The contract, identified as NON-IT Goods 0000873676, was executed on October 20, 2025, with a total contract value of $145. The primary line item involves the procurement of meals for incident personnel, with a quantity of 13 meals at a unit price of $10.25 per meal.

The contract appears focused on supporting CAL FIRE's emergency response capabilities by ensuring meal availability for personnel engaged in firefighting and emergency management activities. The relatively modest contract value and specific meal quantity suggest this may be a targeted procurement for a specific incident or short-term operational need, with In-N-Out Burgers serving as the designated meal provider during the specified period.
