About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Sam Houston issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for Cook Support and Dining Facility Attendant (DFA) augmentation services at the United States Military Academy (USMA) in West Point, New York. The justification supports the award of contract W5168W-26-C-A004 to Southern Foodservice Management, Inc. to provide 17 Cooks and 7 Dining Facility Attendants for a total contract value of $927,000, comprising a base period of $695,000 from December 15, 2025 to March 14, 2026 and an optional one-month extension valued at $232,000 from March 15, 2026 to April 14, 2026. The sole source procurement was necessitated by urgent staffing shortages stemming from the Deferred Resignation Program, retirements, and hiring restrictions that created an immediate risk of disrupting meal services for approximately 4,000 cadets. Southern Foodservice Management was selected as the sole source vendor based on their demonstrated capability to rapidly mobilize food service operations and bridge critical staffing gaps until the Academy can complete its civilian employee recruitment process. This letter contract circumvented full and open competition to address the time-sensitive operational need triggered by a post-award protest that threatened to delay the existing contract.
