Tableware

PSC Category 7350 encompasses tableware and related food service products, primarily focusing on disposable and reusable dining implements for government and military use. The category includes a wide range of items such as compartmented trays, disposable cups, eating plates, bowls, and drinking mugs made from materials like melamine, polystyrene, and plastic. These products are designed to meet specific government specifications, including size, material, and packaging requirements.

Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate a consistent pattern of small to moderate-value contracts, typically ranging from $100 to $21,000, with most awards issued through Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) on the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS). Frequently awarded entities include Babco International Inc. (a woman-owned small business), Mansfield Paper Company, and Terravive LLC. The awards predominantly serve military and civilian federal agencies, with no specific set-aside designations. Contract types are primarily fixed-price with economic price adjustment, and performance periods typically span several months, often ending in early 2025.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities include solicitations from the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons and the Arkansas Army National Guard. The Bureau of Prisons has issued two separate solicitations for miscellaneous disposable items, including styrofoam cups, trays, and other food service products, with 100% small business set-asides. The Arkansas Army National Guard is seeking branded tumblers, mugs, and water bottles, specifically requesting 2,500 32-oz traveler tumblers, 1,500 14-oz insulated coffee mugs, and 2,500 32-oz Nalgene water bottles. Both opportunities emphasize small business participation and have specific product requirements and delivery timelines.
