Columbus Corporate Caterers Inc.

Columbus Corporate Caterers Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, provides catered meal services to the Department of the Army and Ohio Army National Guard as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company is a self-certified Subchapter S corporation classified under NAICS 722320 (Caterers) and competes uniformly within set-aside vehicles rather than full-and-open procurement.

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Ohio Army National Guard, which accounts for 178 awards worth $5.7 million combined potential value (89% of the portfolio by count and 89% by dollar value). The Department of the Army proper has issued 42 awards worth $641 thousand. This concentration reflects Columbus Corporate Caterers' established role as a recurring vendor on the Ohio Army National Guard's statewide catering blanket purchase agreement. Two smaller awards from the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard and one from the Department of the Air Force round out the customer set, together accounting for less than 1% of the portfolio.

Columbus Corporate Caterers holds a seat on three named multiple-award blanket purchase agreements. The largest vehicle by task-order volume is BPA W9136412A0012 (82 task orders, $1.4 million combined potential value), followed by BPA W9136417A0004 (57 task orders, $798 thousand) and BPA W9136421A0009 (47 task orders, $886 thousand). The primary vehicle is the Department of the Army Ohio Army National Guard's statewide catering BPA established July 22, 2021, with a $900 thousand ceiling and individual task-order limits up to $250 thousand. Work is performed across Ohio at locations including Camp Sherman Joint Training Center in Chillicothe, Defense Supply Center Columbus, Camp James A. Garfield Joint Military Training Center in Ravenna, and Delaware and Marysville armories.

The vendor obligated $3.9 million against $6.4 million combined potential value (61% obligated), indicating conservative draw-down against available ceiling.
