About this file
This is an Independent Government Estimate (IGE) Template for Meals supporting a military Title 32 activation for the 256th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (256th IBCT) / 1-141 Field Artillery (FA) conducting Task Force Defender operations in New Orleans.
The contract period runs from April 10, 2026 through August 31, 2026, for a total of 144 days. The requestor is the 256th IBCT/1-141 FA, with unit point of contact SSG THAN MCMICHAEL and brigade point of contact CW2 THEA MARTIN (318-709-8548). The estimated total contract cost is $879,290.00 based on BDFA (Base Dining Facility) rates provided by J4-FS. The meal plan consists of breakfast (12,960 pax at $14 per soldier = $181,440.00), lunch (12,960 pax at $16 per soldier = $207,360.00), dinner (20,020 pax at $18 per soldier = $360,360.00), and midnight lunch (10,010 pax at $13 per soldier = $130,130.00). The vendor selected is JLO, chosen by Procurement and Contracting. The DoDAAC is W910TN with consolidation of 141 personnel (120) and 256 Support (20) for a total of 140 personnel. The justification for external catering is that Louisiana was activated for Task Force Thunder Mission in New Orleans and 92G (food service specialist) personnel were not available. No escalation rate was applied due to contract length, with anticipated award date of April 6, 2026. The document was prepared by CW2 THEA MARTIN (BDE FSA) on March 25, 2026, and approved by CPT CELESTE FACIANE (BDE S4 OIC) on the same date.

An escalation rate was not applied to the cost of the services due to the length of the contract. This contract will be for
__144__total days. Anticipated award date is___April 6 2026_____. The requirements of the PWS have remained essentially unchanged in the interim. Therefore, the assumption is that prices obtained through competition will still be valid without adjustment, except for proper escalation into future years. Price escalation factors for the option years are not listed in the table below but can be based on an industry standard average of 2% annual escalation if necessary.
Projections are for Annual Training FY 23 ONLY.
