About this opportunity
The Department of the Army National Guard has awarded contract W912R1-26-P-A005 to Sardi's Catering, Inc. on a sole-source basis for catered meals supporting emergency operations, effective May 15, 2026 through June 28, 2026.
The justification invokes emergency procurement authority under Title 41 U.S.C. 1901(c)(3) and 1903(b)(3), citing the need to prevent a critical lapse in life-support services beginning May 15, 2026. Sardi's Catering is the only vendor documented as currently capable of meeting the immediate start date without service interruption, based on prior contract performance and established supply chains. A prior competitive procurement (W912R1-26-Q-7002) evaluated sixteen offers between January 7 and January 14, 2026, resulting in two vendors rated Highest Rated Acceptable; Sardi's was selected as lowest-priced, highest-rated acceptable. The Government published a notice of intent to sole source on SAM.gov on May 5, 2026 with responses due May 11, 2026. The Command Advocate for Competition approved the justification for this 45-day bridge contract pending a longer-term competitive procurement.
Performance supports the District of Columbia National Guard at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and the DC Armory during the Make DC Safe and Beautiful and America 250 missions. The contract requires delivery of approximately 13,200 meals daily (4,300 breakfast, 4,300 lunch, 4,300 dinner, 300 midnight chow), prepared in commercial kitchens compliant with FDA Food Code and local health regulations. The contract is firm-fixed-price and funded by Army operations and maintenance funds.
