About this file
This is a Sole Source Documentation form for a FAR Part 13 purchase order exceeding $10,000 but not exceeding $250,000. The document justifies a sole source acquisition for catering services at Fort Walker (AP Hill) from March 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026, with a DAC Number of D-26-OD-0004. The contracting office is OD/ODE, and Jose Marin is identified as the Contract Specialist.
The requirement is for BNNH Food Services to provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner catering for SRT (Special Response Team) trainings, specifically including SRT Basic Course #18 scheduled from March 10-27, 2026, and additional catering services as needed throughout FY26. The sole source justification is based on Fort Walker (AP Hill)'s designation of BNNH Food Services as the pre-approved and only approved vendor for all food services at the facility. The justification cites the lack of alternative catering vendors willing to serve the location, the absence of restaurants within reasonable commuting distance to the barracks and training areas, and the absence of cooking or refrigeration facilities within the barracks to accommodate self-catered meals. The Contracting Officer certifies that pricing will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness before order placement. No specific pricing terms or estimated total amount are disclosed in the documentation.
