About the company
Educational Catering, Inc., doing business as ECI Management Group, is an SBA-certified HUBZone small disadvantaged business headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, that operates as a prime contractor providing comprehensive food service and dining facility support to the Department of the Army and Army National Guard, competing predominantly under small business and HUBZone set-asides.
ECI Management Group's capability portfolio centers exclusively on military food service operations: meal preparation, dining facility management, catering, and related subsistence support delivered to training institutes, regional training centers, and military installations. The company's concrete work includes a $4.89 million single-award HUBZone indefinite delivery contract with the Department of the Army for full food services at the 233rd Regional Training Institute of the Arkansas Army National Guard at Camp Joseph T. Robinson in North Little Rock, awarded September 2024 and running through September 2027; a $6.28 million total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contract for full food service support at Fort McCoy and the Wisconsin Military Academy in Sparta, Wisconsin, awarded June 2022 and running through June 2027; and a $3.96 million definitive contract for dining attendant and food services at the Army National Guard Professional Education Center in North Little Rock, awarded February 2024 with a base year plus four one-year options running through March 2029.
Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of the Army accounts for 43 awards and $28.7 million (97% of combined potential value), with the Wisconsin Army National Guard (10 awards, $966 thousand) and the Army Recruiting Command (2 awards, $57 thousand) comprising the balance. The Air Force and VA each placed one award. ECI operates across three primary indefinite delivery vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract W912JF22D0002 (24 task orders, $3.4 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract W912JF22D0001 (14 task orders, $1.7 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract W912JF24DA001 (6 task orders, $1.1 million). Task orders under these vehicles range from small purchase orders under $10,000 for special events or training support through six-figure quarterly meal service contracts.
Activity has grown from seven awards in 2022 to a peak of seventeen awards in 2025, with six awards in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award (a $74 thousand task order) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. ECI competes exclusively under set-aside categories — principally total small business and HUBZone designations — across its prime footprint. The company holds no subcontract awards and operates as a pure prime contractor. NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors) dominates the award portfolio, with 55 of 57 awards classified under that code and 2 under Caterers; PSC Housekeeping–Food accounts for 54 awards.
