About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Sam Houston is seeking a contractor to provide boxed noon meals (submarine-style sandwiches) to Armed Forces applicants processing through the Minneapolis Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS). The contractor must prepare and deliver meals Monday through Friday and up to 28 Saturdays annually, with service on approximately 264 days per year. Key requirements include preparing meals in a state/local licensed facility, transporting meals in clean, enclosed vehicles, adhering to strict food handling and sanitation guidelines, cleaning the dining area, removing trash, and completing meal vouchers for each applicant. Each boxed meal must contain a submarine-style sandwich with three meat options and one vegetarian option, lettuce, tomato, chips, a cookie, fresh fruit, a straw, and a napkin, along with beverages and condiments as specified. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on November 12, 2025, with a due date of December 8, 2025, providing potential bidders with approximately 26 days to prepare their responses.
This contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, making it available exclusively to small business concerns. Historical data from the Minneapolis MEPS indicates an average daily meal requirement of 35 meals, with a maximum capacity of 100 meals per day, and the government will notify the contractor by 8:00 a.m. each day of the exact lunch count needed. Over a 12-month period, the Minneapolis MEPS served 9,251 lunches, providing a baseline for estimating annual contract volumes. In addition to standard noon meals, the contractor must be prepared to provide mission day meals when applicants process late into the evening. The procurement is classified under NAICS category 722310 (Food Service Contractors) and PSC category S203 (Housekeeping-Food), indicating the government's focus on food service capabilities.
