About this opportunity
The Department of the Army National Guard issued a sole source justification notice on February 5, 2026, for a firm fixed-price contract to procure boxed catered meals supporting soldiers conducting security operations during the Sugar Bowl and New Year's events in New Orleans, Louisiana. The requirement involves daily delivery of complete meals including entrees, side items, and beverages, packaged and delivered in accordance with health and safety standards to ensure immediate consumption by personnel on site. The contracting officer justified the sole source award under 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(2) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(2) (FAR 6.302-2) citing unusual and compelling urgency, determining that only one known source possessed the necessary infrastructure, equipment, staffing levels, and established relationships with the Louisiana Army National Guard to meet the mission-critical turnaround timelines and high-volume production requirements. Contract W912NR26F9A06 was awarded to D.N. Enterprise LLC on January 2, 2026; however, the specific contract amount and meal quantities were not disclosed in the justification notice. While market research identified small local vendors, none could satisfy the response time and production volume requirements, and the contracting officer committed to conducting future outreach to identify additional capable vendors for broader competition in subsequent solicitations.
