About this opportunity

The USDA Forest Service published a Special Notice soliciting feedback on a draft specification for emergency mobile food services contracts to support wildland fire incidents in the western United States through the end of 2020. The draft specification outlines requirements for equipment, food quality standards, menus, food preparation and service, packaging, and performance metrics.

The objective of the Special Notice is to provide industry the opportunity to review and comment on the draft specification for contemplated Emergency Equipment Rental Agreements to fulfill temporary mobile food requirements at various field locations during wildland fires. Interested parties for both the potential EERA opportunities and existing National Mobile Food Services contract are invited to submit any questions or concerns on the draft specification by May 21, 2020 to inform the agency. The Special Notice sets aside any resulting contracts for total small businesses. Feedback will help shape emergency mobile kitchen rentals to supplement the national contract as needed through the end of the calendar year.

Notice text

The USDA Forest Service (FS) anticipates the occasional need for emergency Mobile Food Services during the remainder of the 2020 calendar year, wildland fire season. The intent of this Special Notice is to provide a  draft specification for Emergency Equipment Rental Agreements (EERA) planned for emergency mobile food requirements at various field locations during wildland fire in the contiguous western United States. This draft specification is for industry to review and for the FS to solicit questions or comments. Due to new COVID-19 challenges with performance of this type of an effort, a temporary section has been added to the draft specification (Section D.1.0) to address contemplated changes to the draft EERA specification. The EERA specification is based primarily on the latest National Mobile Food Services solicitation.

This special notice references the current ongoing solicitation for the National Mobile Food Services (12024B19R9001) as these contemplated changes, outlined in Section D.1.0 of this draft, could potentially be utilized in the performance of the National Mobile Food Services contracts.

Interested parties for both the EERA mobile food opportunities and the National Mobile Food Services are encouraged to review the draft solicitation in this Special Notice and provide their  feedback. 

This is not a request for offers at this time only a request for questions or concerns on the draft solicitation.

Responses are due by email to Larry.Robillard@USDA.gov, no later than 12:00 PM Mountain Time on Thursday, 21 May.
