The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Sam Houston is seeking a qualified contractor to provide boxed noon meals, specifically sub sandwiches on a drop-and-go basis, to applicants processing through the Buffalo Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) located in Niagara Falls, New York. A critical requirement for all potential contractors is that they must pass a Veterinary Service Food Protection Audit and obtain sanitary approval for their food preparation facility prior to contract award, as the Buffalo MEPS is situated on a military installation. All interested contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov), where the full Request for Quotations (RFQ) will be posted around January 15, 2026. Written questions regarding the procurement must be submitted to Contract Specialist Olivia Y. Aguilar or Contracting Officer Amy Gawarecki by 10:00 AM Eastern Time on January 29, 2026, and quotes are due on or before February 12, 2026. It is important to note that faxed quotes and amendments will not be accepted.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), which carries a 700-employee size standard. The contract will run for an initial period of June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027, with two additional one-year option periods available, potentially extending the contract through May 31, 2029. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify an award value or budget range, nor does it identify any incumbent contractor or specific meal quantities required. Prospective bidders should use the time between the posting date of January 15, 2026 and the question deadline of January 29, 2026 to clarify any requirements and gather detailed specifications that will be included in the formal RFQ.
