Eddie Jr's BBQ & Jerk Chicken Co

Eddie Jr's BBQ & Jerk Chicken Co, doing business as Eddie JRS BBQ & Jerk Chicken Co, supplies catered meal services to the Department of the Army and Army National Guard as a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business competing exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open awards. The Arlington, Texas-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and Black American owned; all 36 tracked federal awards are prime contracts, predominantly purchase orders for breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals at Army training sites across Texas and Illinois.

The vendor's customer base remains singular and concentrated. The Department of the Army (inclusive of Texas Army National Guard, Army Recruiting Command, and Army Forces Command) accounts for 100% of awards and 100% of combined potential value ($726 thousand). Within that monolithic customer set, the Department of the Army (general) anchors the portfolio at 19 awards ($506 thousand combined potential value), the Texas Army National Guard places 10 awards ($107 thousand), Army Recruiting Command awards 4 orders ($88 thousand), and Army Forces Command places 3 awards ($25 thousand). This concentration reflects the vendor's operational niche: short-cycle catering for Army annual training events, inactive duty training, and leadership challenge camps at specific locations including Camp Mabry in Austin, Fort Hood, Camp Bullis in San Antonio, and Fort Wolters in Mineral Wells, all in Texas, with periodic work in Illinois (Grand Prairie, Marseilles).

The vendor holds no parent vehicles, IDIQs, or standing contracts; all 36 awards are individual firm-fixed-price purchase orders ranging from $4,560 to $208,785.50. Recent activity shows contraction: nine awards in 2022, ten in 2023, three in 2024, and one award each in 2025 and 2026. The most recent award, dated June 8, 2026, is a $26,010 total small business set-aside from Army Recruiting Command for meal service at the 3rd Brigade Junior Cadet Leadership Challenge camp in Marseilles, Illinois, for approximately 255 personnel through June 26, 2026. The vendor performs all meal preparation at its own facility, handles transportation, serving line setup, and cleanup. Earlier representative work includes a $208,785.50 January 2024 order from the Department of the Army for catered meals supporting Army and Army National Guard training events in Illinois through September 2024, and a $37,825 August 2022 order from the Department of the Army for breakfast and dinner boxed meals supporting 56th Headquarters Brigade annual training at Fort Hood, Texas.

The vendor holds no subcontractor relationships and does not appear on any federal prime contractor teaming arrangements in the source. Its capability is narrowly defined: meal catering for military training and readiness events, with primary NAICS 722210 (Caterers) and PSC Housekeeping–Food. The vendor registered in SAM in May 2018 and has maintained continuous award activity for over seven years, but recent contract volume and dollar value have declined sharply since 2023.

We are a barbecue based catering company that also have wide range of food options to offer.
