About this opportunity
The Army National Guard seeks catered, individually packed meals for the New Hampshire Army National Guard's 197th Fires Brigade at Fort Drum, New York, with quotes due May 11, 2026. The procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 722320 (Caterers, $9.0 million size standard), and only qualified small business vendors may quote.
Performance period is June 2–7, 2026, with delivery to Building 990, 9th Middle Street, Fort Drum. The contract is Firm-Fixed Price. The requirement totals 1,232 individually packed meals: 672 breakfasts (112 meals per day for six days) and 560 dinners (112 meals per day for five days), following a Government-provided 14-day menu rotation. Breakfast service runs 0630–0830 daily; dinner runs 1630–1830 Monday through Friday.
Technical capability requirements are mandatory: all meals must comply with TB MED 530 (Tri-Service Food Code), be prepared in a certified commercial kitchen with a valid state or local health department license (Grade B or better), and the primary food service manager or head chef must hold current food safety certification such as ServSafe Food Protection Manager. Contractors must submit a detailed narrative describing equipment and procedures for maintaining hot food above 135°F and cold food below 41°F during transport, and must obtain and maintain Fort Drum Local Access Passes for all personnel and vehicles before performance begins.
Evaluation criteria are price (award to lowest evaluated total price among technically acceptable quotes), technical capability, and past performance. Past performance evaluation requires exactly three references from meal contracts performed within the past three years, with complete points of contact and award amounts; any deficiency results in an unacceptable rating. Quotations receiving an unacceptable technical capability rating will be eliminated.
An amendment issued May 6 extended the due date from May 6 to May 11, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST.
