D & J Catering

D & J Catering, a sole proprietorship based in Fargo, North Dakota, provides catered meal services to the U.S. Army, Air National Guard, and Army National Guard exclusively under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates as a prime contractor only — 100% of its forty-five recent federal awards are purchase orders for subsistence and dining support at military training events across North Dakota.

The vendor's customer base is concentrated in Army and Army National Guard training operations. The Department of the Army accounts for fifteen awards valued at $273 thousand combined potential value, while the Department of the Army North Dakota Army National Guard accounts for twenty-four awards valued at $148 thousand, together representing 100% of the award portfolio. The Department of the Air Force Air National Guard places six awards valued at $60 thousand. All awards are classified under NAICS Caterers, with the vast majority falling under PSC Housekeeping—Food.

D & J Catering's recent work consists of short-duration purchase orders for meal services supporting military unit training cycles. Representative awards include a $43,582 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Department of the Army for catered meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) supporting the 1-188th Air Defense Artillery's annual training from May 28 through June 11, 2026, at Grand Forks, North Dakota; a $44,657.75 purchase order from the Department of the Army for subsistence services covering breakfast and lunch for approximately 135–146 soldiers over fifteen days during the 141st Maneuver Enhancement Brigade's annual training in June 2025; and an $11,024 purchase order from the Air National Guard for catered meal services in June 2025. All contracts carry firm fixed pricing and performance sites in North Dakota.

Activity is low-volume and sporadic — one award in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Combined potential value across the entire portfolio is $481 thousand, fully obligated. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and does not sit on any government-wide vehicles, BPAs, or IDIQs; all work flows through individual purchase orders tied to specific training events. Recompete opportunity is minimal given the event-driven, non-standing nature of the work.
