DM Catering, L.L.C.

DM Catering, L.L.C., doing business as Mobile Catering / DM Catering, is a woman-owned small business based in Pineville, Louisiana, that provides catered meals and food services to the Department of the Army and Louisiana National Guard as a prime contractor exclusively on Total Small Business set-asides. The company operates as a 100% prime contractor footprint across 137 federal awards with no subcontract role, delivering breakfast, lunch, and dinner meal services for Inactive Duty Training, Annual Training, and pre-mobilization events across Louisiana military installations.

DM Catering's customer base is entirely Army-centric and geographically concentrated. The Louisiana Army National Guard accounts for 57 awards worth $4.3 million combined potential value, while the Department of the Army proper holds 79 awards totaling $953 thousand, and the Department of the Army Special Operations Command accounts for one $26 thousand award—representing 100% coverage across three distinct customer agencies. The two rankings diverge in magnitude: the Louisiana National Guard carries higher dollar concentration despite lower award count, reflecting larger individual task orders for multi-unit training events, while Army proper issues more numerous but smaller individual purchase orders.

DM Catering operates under five active and closed Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Louisiana National Guard and Department of the Army. The largest vehicle by task-order volume is Blanket Purchase Agreement W912NR15A0011, which generated 66 task orders worth $733 thousand combined potential value; three additional BPAs (W912NR20A0006, W912NR22A0007, and W912NR23A0003) collectively generated 28 task orders. The current active single-award BPA, effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2027, carries a $220 thousand ceiling for boxed meals supporting central Louisiana regional military training. Prior BPAs included a $250 thousand agreement for pre-priced lunch meals (through June 2024) and a $350 thousand agreement for boxed meals (through May 2023), demonstrating recurring vehicle awards across multiple fiscal years.

Representative work spans small to mid-sized training-event meal support. A $49,018 purchase order awarded February 7, 2025 covered boxed meals for the 769th and 156th units at Fort Johnson and Pineville Training Center over a six-day period. A $33,040 BPA call from March 3, 2023 provided catered breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals to the 256th, 3-156th, and 769th Brigade Engineer Battalions and the 199th Combat Arms Brigade. Recent awards in 2026 include an $18,246 March purchase order for 204th Inactive Duty Training meals and a $9,782 January order for the 136th Pre-Mobilization at Camp Beauregard, both under Total Small Business set-asides.

Activity has averaged 10–16 awards annually over the past five years, with 2023 reaching a peak of 16 awards. The 2026 year-to-date count of four awards (through March) reflects incomplete-year reporting rather than a sustained decline trajectory. Combined potential value across all 137 prime awards stands at $5.3 million, with $1.6 million obligated (31% of potential), indicating a contract portfolio in active execution. DM Catering operates as a subsidiary of parent company Tioga DM Inc., which does business as D&M Hogwild BBQ, and leverages that parent's resources to fulfill performance requirements while maintaining its independent woman-owned small business designation.
