Award of Blanket Purchase Agreement for Catering Services in Miami, FL

The U.S. Government has a requirement to procure Catering Services in support of the U.S. Southern Command - Miami, FL area and has established multiple BPAs with local Catering Vendors with whom it competes individual needs. It is the Government's intent to issue additional Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) to expand competition and to allow for added interest from local Catering Vendors. The services required include commercially available catering support services to provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services. This will be an unrestricted procurement under NAICS Code 722320 (Caterers). Vendors shall be located in the Miami or Ft. Lauderdale area, and be able to transport the food to US SOUTHCOM Headquarters. In order to accomplish this, interested parties must contact the Contract Specialist no later than the Response Date for this announcement. An all-encompassing Performance Work Statement (PWS) is attached to this announcement for interested parties to review and determine their own capability of satisfying the maximum potential requirements which may arise from the issuance of specific future requirements which will be solicited under the resulting Master BPA. Please note that offers will not be accepted from any third party agencies. Proposals will be accepted directly from Catering Vendors within the specified area(s) as written in the PWS. All responsible and responsive offers received will be considered. Interested sources are responsible for obtaining and reviewing the PWS by either downloading or requesting the documents from the Contract Specialist by email. All interested and capable Catering Vendors responding to this announcement will be sent pricing lists, BPA terms and conditions, and BPA call ordering procedures. An assessment will be made to determine the Catering Vendor's capability and their ability to meet Food and Water Risk Assessment (FWRA) requirements once all pricing has been submitted by the Catering Vendor. If a hotel is determined to be capable of meeting any and all FWRA requirements under the attached PWS, a BPA will then be issued to that hotel for a period not to exceed five (5) years.
