K & A Foodservice Inc.

K & A Foodservice Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Suffolk, Virginia, provides catered meals, full food service operations, and meal delivery to Army National Guard units and the Department of the Army as a prime contractor exclusively under small business set-asides. The firm competes across total small business and woman-owned small business designations, with approximately 85 percent of its contract portfolio designated as total small business set-asides. K & A Foodservice is a for-profit corporate entity self-certified as both a small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business, operating under primary NAICS 722310 (Caterers) with secondary exposure in 722320 (Food Service Contractors).

K & A Foodservice's customer footprint centers on the Department of the Army and its subordinate National Guard commands. The top five customer entities account for 82 percent of recent awards by count, split between the general Department of the Army (32 awards, $3.9 million combined potential value) and specific state National Guard organizations — Virginia Army National Guard (23 awards, $522 thousand), Vermont Army National Guard (10 awards, $249 thousand), New York Army National Guard (4 awards, $1 million), and Ohio Army National Guard (4 awards, $1 million). The two rankings by award count and by potential value diverge materially: while the Department of the Army and Virginia dominate volume, Maryland Army National Guard commands anchor $2 million in potential value on only two awards. Across 89 prime awards since 2014, K & A Foodservice has earned $7 million in obligations against $10.4 million in combined potential value.

The vendor's capability portfolio reflects specialized food service for military training operations. Representative work includes a $644.3 thousand full food service operation at the Vermont Army National Guard Regional Training Institute running through October 2028 under total small business set-aside; a $174.7 thousand purchase order from the Department of the Army for breakfast, lunch, and dinner meal services supporting the 124th Regional Training Institute's four 23-day courses; a $82.2 thousand catering order from the Army for the 178th Engineer Battalion providing 5,109 hot breakfast and dinner meals in Eastover, South Carolina; and smaller task orders under standing BPAs with Michigan, New York, and Ohio National Guard units for meal deliveries ranging from $12 thousand to $59 thousand. All contracts are firm fixed-price purchase orders or BPA calls with 100-percent prime execution — the vendor carries no subcontract footprint in the source data.

K & A Foodservice holds three active Blanket Purchase Agreements anchoring its federal posture. The Ohio Army National Guard BPA carries a $900 thousand ceiling through July 2031; the New York Army National Guard BPA carries a $900 thousand ceiling through April 2027; the Michigan Army National Guard BPA carries a $990 thousand ceiling through February 2028. These multi-year vehicles establish standing authorization for task orders supporting training exercises and rotations. Activity accelerated in 2025 (14 awards) after flatter years from 2022 through 2024 (six to seven awards annually). One award valued at $644.3 thousand faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a recompete cliff for the Vermont RTI full food service contract.
