About the company
Boston Box Lunch & Catering, LLC, doing business as Apple Spice Of Greater Boston, is a woman-owned small business based in Woburn, Massachusetts, that provides catered meals and boxed lunches to federal and military clients as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. The company operates as a limited liability partnership structured for-profit, with a footprint anchored almost entirely to Massachusetts Army National Guard (MAARNG) meal-support contracts and subordinate exposure to the Department of the Army, Department of Transportation, and U.S. Air Force Materiel Command.
Boston Box Lunch & Catering's customer concentration is extreme: 24 of 30 recent prime awards (80% by count) target the MAARNG, with combined potential value of $6.8 million; the remaining four agencies account for $55 thousand across four awards. The MAARNG work consists of task orders drawn against three active blanket purchase agreements. The largest vehicle, a $3 million multiple-award BPA awarded September 1, 2024, running through August 31, 2029, has generated seven task orders to date for prepared boxed and containerized foods as well as complete meals across multiple Massachusetts locations. A predecessor $1.495 million BPA (awarded February 1, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2025) issued 15 task orders ranging from $203 to $13,828 for boxed lunches, sandwiches, wraps, and full-course meals in support of inactive duty training, annual training, and special events at Woburn, Hanscom Air Force Base, Cambridge, and Reading. Representative recent work under the current $3 million BPA includes a $8,644 task order in December 2025 for apple spice meals supporting Army meal-service requirements, a $5,687 task order in July 2025 for IDT (Inactive Duty Training) meals, and a $21,238 task order in June 2025 for catered meals supporting MAARNG training events.
Outside the MAARNG, Boston Box Lunch & Catering received a $13,314 purchase order from the Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary in April 2024 for catering services at the Volpe Center's 53rd Annual Award Ceremony Reception (total small business set-aside), a $5,397 purchase order from Air Force Materiel Command in August 2025 for meal support at Edwards Air Force Base in California (no set-aside, open competition), and a $1,799 BPA call from the Department of the Army in June 2026 for catered meals for drill weekends in Woburn (total small business set-aside). Activity shows volatility: eleven awards in 2023, declining to six in 2024 and five in 2025, with one award recorded in 2026. Combined potential value across all 30 awards totals $6.9 million, though only $133 thousand (2%) has been obligated. The vendor holds no federal contract IDVs or parent vehicles directly; all work flows through task orders and purchase orders issued by contracting agencies. Competition posture is predominantly set-aside — 26 of 30 awards carry total small business set-aside designations — with the remainder issued under open or no-set-aside criteria. NAICS concentration reflects food-service delivery: 28 awards fall under All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing, one under Food Service Contractors, and one under Caterers.
