Catering Svc at Ft. Walker

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) published a Special Notice on February 10, 2026, regarding catering services at Fort Walker (AP Hill). This solicitation announces the DEA's intent to award a firm fixed-price purchase order on a sole source basis to BNNH Food Services/BBNH Enterprises, Inc., located in Union, Michigan. The contract will provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner catering services for Special Response Team (SRT) trainings from March 1 through September 30, 2026. The catering requirement falls under NAICS code 722320 (Caterers) and is being pursued as a sole source acquisition rather than a competitive procurement. No small business set-aside applies to this opportunity.

The primary objective of this solicitation is to secure catering support for SRT training activities, specifically the SRT Basic Course #18 scheduled for March 10-27, 2026, with additional services as needed throughout fiscal year 2026. The response deadline was February 17, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, with award decisions based on lowest price/technically acceptable on an all-or-none basis. Although the solicitation is intended for sole source award, interested vendors who believe they can provide the services were invited to submit written capability statements to the Contract Specialist, Jose Marin, by the deadline to demonstrate their ability to serve the requirement. Contractors must comply with numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions and DEA-specific clauses covering ethics, security requirements, wage determinations, and personnel background investigation standards. The applicable wage determination (2015-4281) establishes minimum wage rates for the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia areas, with health and welfare benefits of $5.55 per hour.
