About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service is procuring National Mobile Food Service Unit (MFSU) support through multiple-award, Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide comprehensive food services for fire suppression activities, all-hazard incidents, and severity/preparedness assignments throughout the western United States from 2025-2029. Contractors must provide fully equipped mobile food service units capable of preparing and serving appetizing, nutritional, well-balanced hot and cold meals, shift provisions, and supplemental items for incident personnel, with units required to operate in diverse environments ranging from urban areas to remote primitive locations with limited access. The procurement will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1 will award National MFSU "Parent" IDIQs to offerors deemed technically acceptable and reasonably priced, while Phase 2 will issue task orders through a separate notice of fair opportunity using a lowest-price, technically acceptable (LPTA) selection process. Key requirements include providing four key personnel with food safety certifications, maintaining equipment capable of serving up to 1,200 persons per meal at a minimum rate of 350 persons per hour, and ensuring comprehensive meal preparation capabilities. The proposal due date has been extended to April 25, 2025, following three amendments that provided responses to pre-solicitation questions and conference materials.
This solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 722310 (Food Service Contractors), with no specific incumbent contractors mentioned in the available documentation. The estimated historical contract value totals $395,814,914.73, indicating substantial government investment in mobile food service capabilities over the contract period. Mobile food service units must be capable of preparing up to 3,000 lunches daily and serving large incident response teams, with specific requirements for meal composition including varied protein rotations and vegetarian options. The contract period runs from July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, with options for four additional one-year renewal periods, potentially extending the total contract duration to five years plus an optional six-month extension. Performance will occur across eleven western states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming, with contractors required to maintain availability at designated dispatch points throughout these regions.
