The Primary Source has been awarded a non-information technology goods contract by the California Office of Emergency Services, effective September 9, 2026, with a total contract value of $345,036.39. This award encompasses the procurement of meals ready to eat (MRE) in three dietary variants, each packaged in cases containing twelve individual meals with integrated heating elements. The contract specifications include 938 cases of standard variety MREs, 937 cases of vegetarian MREs, and 209 cases of low-sodium MREs, with each case priced at $152.77.

The line items specified indicate that the contract is designed to support emergency services operations and disaster response capabilities. All three MRE variants are identical in unit pricing and packaging configuration, suggesting standardized procurement for emergency preparedness and response stockpiling. The contract does not specify an explicit performance period beyond the award date, nor does the provided documentation identify a specific county or performance location. The three-variant approach to meal procurement indicates organizational consideration for dietary accommodations and medical requirements within emergency response scenarios.
