About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking to procure National Mobile Food Service Unit (MFSU) support for fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and severity/preparedness assignments across the western United States. The upcoming solicitation will result in commercial, performance-based, multiple-award Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for providing mobile food services in challenging environments ranging from urban areas to remote primitive locations. Contractors must be capable of delivering appetizing, nutritional, and well-balanced hot and cold meals for incident personnel, with complete meal preparation occurring directly at incident sites. The procurement will be conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Parts 12 and 15, with a two-phase evaluation process. Phase 1 will award "Parent" IDIQ contracts to technically acceptable and reasonably priced offerors, while Phase 2 will involve a separate notice of fair opportunity using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) selection process.
The pre-solicitation notice is specifically set aside for total small business participation, targeting the Food Service Contractors NAICS category (722310). The initial contract period will run from the award date through December 31, 2025, with potential renewals of up to four additional one-year periods, creating a maximum potential contract duration of five years plus a possible six-month extension. While specific award values are not disclosed, the contract will cover comprehensive mobile food service requirements, including all necessary equipment, supervision, labor, materials, and supplies to support incident personnel. The solicitation aims to establish multiple contractors capable of providing flexible, high-quality food service support across diverse and challenging operational environments. Interested small businesses should carefully review the upcoming Request for Proposals (RFP) to understand the detailed technical and performance specifications for these critical mobile food service support contracts.
