Jones Deanne

Jones Deanne Sales And Catering Division, doing business as Remote Catering Solutions, is a woman-owned, economically disadvantaged small business based in Jackson, Tennessee, that provides on-demand catered meal services—breakfast, lunch, dinner, and boxed meals—to Army and Army National Guard units across the western and central United States as a prime contractor on 211 federal awards with combined potential value of $19.8 million. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards); all work is under total small business set-asides or full-and-open competitions, with no subcontract footprint.

Remote Catering Solutions holds SBA certifications as a woman-owned small business and economically disadvantaged women-owned small business, and is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business. The company is classified under NAICS 722320 (Caterers) and PSC Housekeeping–Food, and has delivered catering services to 39 distinct federal customer agencies over the past several years, with the heaviest concentration in Army and Army National Guard components.

The top five customer agencies by count and value anchor the portfolio. The Department of the Army Oklahoma Army National Guard leads by potential value at 22 awards worth $4.5 million combined; the Department of the Army Oregon Army National Guard follows with 23 awards worth $3 million; the Department of the Army (central contracting) carries 47 awards worth $2.6 million; the Department of the Army Nevada Army National Guard holds 11 awards worth $2.2 million; and the Department of the Army Utah Army National Guard accounts for 11 awards worth $1.8 million. These five customers represent 71% of combined potential value across all awards. The vendor also serves the Army Reserve Command (12 awards), the Indiana Army National Guard (14 awards), the US Marshals Service Special Operations Group, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the North Carolina National Guard, and others. Representative work includes a $1.37 million purchase order from the Department of the Army for cafeteria-style meal service to 1,871 soldiers of the 5th Armor Brigade at Fort Bliss, Texas from September through November 2022; a $645,139 purchase order from the Oklahoma National Guard for catered breakfast and dinner meals at Fort Riley, Kansas in March–April 2023; a $361,120.50 contract from the Michigan National Guard for meal service to up to 2,250 soldiers per day during the Northern Strike exercise in July–August 2022; and recent task orders under the Oregon National Guard BPA ranging from $23,976 to $64,550 for catered meal services at Camp Rees, Hermiston, and Keizer throughout 2026.

The vendor holds five active blanket purchase agreements. The largest is a $2.5 million multiple-award BPA established by the Oregon National Guard on January 22, 2026, running through January 2031, from which 15 task orders have been issued as of July 2026. The Department of the Army awarded a $940,000 three-year BPA to the Utah National Guard on November 17, 2023, through November 2026, for catered and boxed meals at West Jordan, Draper, and Jackson, Tennessee; a $800,000 BPA to support the Oklahoma Army National Guard through September 2027; a $350,000 multiple-award BPA with the Utah National Guard running April 2022 through February 2026; and a $125,000 single-award BPA with the Oklahoma Army National Guard running April 2022 through April 2023. These vehicles are the operational backbone of the vendor's federal work, enabling rapid deployment of meal services for training exercises and operational readiness activities.

Activity volume declined sharply from a 2022 peak of 28 awards to 8 awards in 2024, though 2025 and 2026 show modest recovery at 14 and 10 awards respectively. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months—a $497 thousand Department of the Army purchase order for food service operations at Yakima, Washington, completing September 30, 2028, which carries minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor's BPA vehicle structure substantially de-risks its customer relationships, as the underlying agreements run through 2027–2031 and allow issuing agencies to call task orders on an as-needed basis; however, the sharp 2023–2024 decline in annual award count signals either reduced demand from existing customers or competitive losses on new solicitations.

Performance occurs at multiple locations nationwide, with concentration in the western and central United States (Utah, Oregon, Oklahoma, Indiana, Kansas, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Texas, Michigan, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, and others) and at federal military installations including Fort Bliss, Fort Riley, Camp Williams, Camp Grayling, Yakima Training Center, and Camp Rees. The vendor has demonstrated capacity to manage large-scale, multi-location meal operations—the 2022 Fort Bliss contract required daily meal service to 1,871 personnel—and to meet compressed timelines; several Oregon National Guard task orders in 2026 carried three-day RFQ-to-award cycles.

Remote Catering Solutions has the ability and tools to cater for up to 2000 people per meal in remote locations and on various terrains. We own a fleet of mobile kitchens and commercial generators which allow us to cater and during natural disasters.
