Answers to Industry Questions.docx

This file is a Questions and Answers document addendum to solicitation W912LQ-26-Q-A027 for catering services issued by the Virginia Army National Guard. The document clarifies meal delivery requirements in response to industry inquiries submitted prior to the May 21, 2026 posting date.

The key clarification addresses meal delivery specifications: meals must be delivered in individual boxes rather than buffet-style pans. This requirement applies to the VAARNG Meals for Crane, Indiana June 2026 procurement, which is a firm-fixed-price Request for Quote (RFQ) under NAICS code 722320 (Caterers) with a $47 million business size standard and PSC 8945 (Foods, Oils and Fats). Vendors must maintain active SAM.gov registration to be considered for award, hold quoted prices firm for 30 calendar days from the closing date, and expect payment through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) application per DFARS clause 252.232-7006. The contracting officer, David A. Pickard, intends to evaluate quotes and make award without discussions unless deemed necessary.
