About this file
This file is an Amendment with Answers to Industry Questions for Solicitation W912LQ-25QA017, issued by the National Guard Bureau U.S. Property & Fiscal Officer for Virginia. The solicitation is for delivering up to 970 prepared lunch or dinner meals for the 229th Chemical Company during home station drill and Annual Training periods in July and September 2025 at the Roanoke Regional Readiness Center in Troutville, VA. The contract is a total small business set-aside with a firm-fixed-price award under NAICS code 311991, with a small business size standard of 700 employees.
The amendment addresses two specific industry questions regarding meal delivery requirements. Contractors can use either buffet-style pans that will be reclaimed or disposable packaging, provided they maintain safe food temperatures during transportation. The PWS emphasizes food safety standards, including proper cleaning, sanitization, allergen management, and temperature control for perishable items. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and will be paid through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) application, with the government's contract obligation contingent on fund availability.

SUBJECT: ANSWERS TO INDUSTRY QUESTIONS for Solicitation W912LQ-25-Q-A017
Q1. Are there specific requirements or restrictions regarding the type of pans or containers in which the food must be delivered? For example, is there a preferred material (e.g., aluminum, disposable trays) or packaging standard to be used?
A1. The following sections of the PWS address serving containers but do not address a specific type of pan, container, preferred material, or method of delivery. Delivery in buffet style pans that will be reclaimed by the vendor after each meal or disposable packaging is acceptable as long as the contractor can maintain safe food temperatures during transportation to the armory.
5.3.5 All foods shall be prepared, transported, and served on surfaces which have been properly cleaned and sanitized. Contractor shall also ensure that cross-contamination of common allergens is avoided as required (peanut, tree nut, eggs, etc.).
5.4.1 The contractor shall cover, label, and properly store all food.
5.4.2 The contractor shall promptly store perishable and semi-perishable subsistence upon receipt. Frozen and chilled items shall be stored at proper temperatures.
5.4.3 The contractor is responsible for preventing all food borne diseases by properly storing and preparing food in accordance with applicable regulations.
Q2. Can you please confirm if you want the caterer to deliver these meals in buffet style pans and just drop them off and leave or if you want them to stay and serve the meals?
A2. The PWS is for food delivery only and does not include serving. See Q&A 1 for answer to the style of pan to deliver food.
