Questions and Answers for Meals AT W91ZRS21R0009

(Q1) I am assuming delivery time is the same at both locations. 11am?

(A1) Yes it’s the same time for both locations in the solicitation. The time is an estimate. When awarded the time will be on the award.

(Q2) There is mention of sterno units to keep the food hot. Are you requesting specific equipment to use or are you just making sure that the offeror understands the importance of delivering the food hot?

(A2) Making sure the food is hot. If you choose not to use the sterno heaters it’s your responsible to make sure the food is hot and correct temperature.

(Q3) Since the food is in pre-packaged containers, the troops will come through and pick up their meal along with the paper and plastic ware. Then they will sit and eat, and we are required to stay there while they eat, clean up and remove the trash. Is this correct?

(A3) The vendor just drops off the individual packaged meals and whatever paper and plastic ware they need. You do nothing else. You do not hand them out or wait or pick up trash. Drop off only.

(Q4) For beverages you mention not to serve bottled water and to have fruit juice. Are there any other beverage requirements other than the juice? Would you like to have bottled water in addition to the juice?

(A4) No just individual juice.

(Q5) Is it acceptable to bring the food in bulk and then our staff individually plate the meals while we are there?

(A5) No it is not acceptable to bring bulk food. You only drop off individual package meals and individual drink along with plastic ware and paper goods. You do not stay only drop-off.
