About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard, through the Department of Homeland Security, is soliciting proposals for Full Food Services at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. The contract requires comprehensive food service operations including meal preparation and service for the Cadet Wardroom and All Hands Coast Guard Dining Facility, serving approximately 1,100 cadets and other eligible patrons, along with special event catering, athletic training meals, clinic food service, and formal banquets. Offerors must demonstrate at least five years of experience managing comparable food service programs and submit detailed technical proposals covering menu planning, key personnel qualifications, staffing, procurement, and quality control capabilities. Evaluation will be conducted using a tradeoff source selection process that prioritizes technical approach and past performance factors significantly more than price, with proposals assessed on technical merit, demonstrated past performance through reference checks, and pricing. The proposal due date is February 2, 2026, with mandatory site visits scheduled for January 7 and 9, 2026, and questions required to be submitted by January 13, 2026.
This procurement is designated as a 100% Total Small Business set-aside, specifically prioritizing Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns under NAICS code 722310. The current contractor, Acorn Food Service, operates under a Collective Bargaining Agreement with UNITE HERE Local 217 that expires March 31, 2026, establishing baseline wage and benefits expectations for successor contractors. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price agreement with an eleven-month base period beginning March 1, 2026, and four one-year option periods extending through February 28, 2031, for a potential five-year total contract duration. The pricing schedule encompasses multiple Contract Line Item Numbers covering various service areas including cadet meals, clinic meals, special events, and formal banquets, with estimated meal volumes and detailed pricing guidance provided in the solicitation attachments. Performance will take place at the Coast Guard Academy's dining facilities located at 15 Mohegan Avenue Parkway in New London, Connecticut.
