About this opportunity
The Department of State, specifically the US Embassy in Dhaka, is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for a Marine Detachment Cook Contract to support food services for seven Marine Security Guards. The RFI aims to identify qualified cooking service providers capable of preparing three daily meals from 0630 to 1630 hours, Sunday through Thursday, with a comprehensive 20-day menu cycle that meets U.S. dietary guidelines. Interested companies must submit electronic responses to DhakaProc@state.gov by 5:30 p.m. Bangladeshi Local Time on May 21, 2025, including their legal business name, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), CAGE Code, contact information, and a capability statement. Respondents are required to use Microsoft Office applications with a minimum 12-point Calibri font, and the submission must include a one-year estimated price. The RFI is purely for market research and planning purposes, and does not guarantee a future contract solicitation.
The contract opportunity does not have a specific set-aside designation and falls under the NAICS category 722320 (Caterers) and PSC category S203 (Housekeeping- Food). The contract term is 12 months, with the potential for the contractor to accompany the Mess Non-Commissioned Officer on local food purchasing trips and maintain a 30-day emergency food supply. The government will provide fully furnished kitchen facilities and government-furnished equipment. Key performance requirements include maintaining strict food safety and sanitation standards aligned with FDA, USDA, and World Health Organization guidelines, and implementing a Food Service Management System. The contractor will be responsible for menu planning, food sourcing, preparation, service, staffing, quality management, and kitchen cleanliness, with the goal of providing diverse, high-quality cuisine that accommodates various dietary restrictions and preferences.
