For the follow-on contract to N6883617P0132, a pre-solicitation synopsis was posted to beta.sam.gov on 20 July 2019, to announce the anticipated requirement, and to seek interested and capable business sources.

The Contract Specialist contacted three of those small businesses to gauge their interest in the requirement. In addition, the Mississippi State Licensing Agency requested direct negotiation per 20 USC 107 and 34 CFR 395.33(d). The request was based on a proven track record of proper sanitation practices, personnel, staffing, menu pricing and portion sizes, menu variety, budget and accounting practices, and satisfactory Contractor Performance Assessment Rating for the previous contract N6883617P0132.
