About this opportunity

The US Marshals Service is soliciting catering services to provide prepared meals for the Special Operations Group (SOG) training facility in Pineville, Louisiana. The contract requires the contractor to supply breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals along with healthy snacks for training sessions, with nutritionally dense meals containing 3,500-4,500 calories per day served to 30-80 students across multiple training classes. Key qualifications include having a physical business location within 50 miles of Pineville, LA, current Louisiana food handler certifications, and demonstrated catering and contract management experience. The government will evaluate offers based on five criteria: catering personnel experience, contract management experience, contractor performance, questionnaire responses, and price, with the first four factors weighted more heavily than cost. Interested parties must submit mandatory questions by 12:00 PM EST on December 9, 2025, and complete pricing sheets along with answers to mandatory questions must be submitted by 12:00 PM EST on December 11, 2025, with submissions sent to two designated email addresses.

This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 722320 (Caterers) with a $9.0 million size standard, and no incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation materials. The contract will be awarded on a Firm-Fixed-Price basis to the offeror representing the best value to the government. The three training periods span January 5-16, 2026, February 22-March 19, 2026, and April 27-May 19, 2026, with approximately 9,475 total meals required across the performance periods. Actual meal quantities may fluctuate due to potential training injuries that reduce participant attendance. Meals will be served at the Special Operations Group Tactical Center (SOGTC) at the Louisiana National Guard Training Center in Pineville, LA, and at various off-site training locations within a 20-mile radius, with service times estimated at 6:00 AM for breakfast, 11:30 AM for lunch, and 5:30 PM for dinner.
