Del Monte Meats LLC

Del Monte Meats LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Pocatello, Idaho, supplies mobile food catering and meal services to federal wildland firefighting and land management operations across the Intermountain West as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders and blanket purchase agreement calls, competing entirely in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements.

Del Monte Meats operates exclusively as a prime contractor—35 of 35 recent awards are prime work—delivering hot meals, catering, and mobile food service to active fire incidents and federal land management operations. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on wildfire incident meal support and field catering; representative work includes a $52,985 mobile food service order from the Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region (June 2025), a $36,388 food catering purchase order from the same region for Salmon, Idaho operations (August 2025), and a $32,636 meals-and-food-service purchase order from the Forest Service for Buckhorn, Idaho (September 2026). Across the portfolio, housekeeping-food services account for 26 of the vendor's 35 awards; forest-range fire suppression and presuppression work represents an additional six awards. The vendor self-certifies as small disadvantaged but does not hold SBA 8(a) or other formal certifications—all awards reflect full-and-open or unrestricted competitive procurements.

Customer concentration is extreme and geographic. The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region issues 27 of 35 awards (73% by count, 40% by potential value at $367 thousand), the Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region issues 7 awards ($286 thousand), and the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center issues 1 award ($264 thousand). The two customer rankings are identical—BLM Idaho Region dominates both volume and dollars—reflecting a narrow vendor footprint locked into Idaho-based federal fire and land management purchasing.

Del Monte Meats operates under three recurring blanket purchase agreements: BPA INL15PA00130 (13 task orders, $155 thousand), BPA 140L2520A0002 (4 task orders, $76 thousand), and BPA INL11PA00158 (3 task orders, $21 thousand). All work is performed in Idaho (Pocatello, Salmon, Boise, or Buckhorn), anchoring the vendor to regional fire-response logistics.

Activity has been episodic. The vendor placed five awards in 2025 and one in 2026, with a four-year gap between 2022 and 2025 visible in the award-per-year timeline. Combined potential value across all 35 awards totals $916 thousand, fully obligated; individual purchase orders and BPA calls range from $3,361 to $52,985. The vendor has no subcontract exposure—all work is direct prime delivery to federal agencies.
