Maribel Diaz Cruz

Maribel Diaz Cruz, doing business as El Sabor De Mi Casa, a woman-owned, Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Cidra, Puerto Rico, provides catering and prepared-meal services exclusively to Army and Army Reserve Command units across Puerto Rico as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor competes entirely within the small business set-aside universe, with all twenty-two prime awards between March 2023 and June 2026 designated as total small business set-asides and carrying an aggregate potential value of $330 thousand, fully obligated.

El Sabor De Mi Casa's customer base is tightly concentrated within the Department of Defense footprint in Puerto Rico. The Department of the Army holds 13 awards worth $183 thousand combined potential value (55% of the vendor's portfolio by dollar), followed by the Department of the Army Reserve Command with 5 awards worth $84 thousand (25%), and the Puerto Rico Army National Guard with 4 awards worth $63 thousand (19%). The two customer rankings (by award count and by potential value) track identically, indicating no tension between transaction volume and deal size — Army contracts tend to run larger than Reserve Command and National Guard awards. Capability is concentrated in two NAICS categories: Caterers (12 awards) and Food Service Contractors (10 awards), with corresponding PSC coding under Housekeeping–Food (12 awards) and Composite Food Packages (8 awards).

Recent work is representative: a $39,525 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of the Army for prepared and prepackaged meals supporting the 130th Engineer Battalion's annual training at Camp Santiago in Salinas, Puerto Rico (awarded April 11, 2025, completion June 21, 2025); a $32,400 purchase order from the Army for pre-packaged breakfast, lunch, and dinner to the 482nd Army National Guard unit at Camp Santiago (awarded October 17, 2024); and a $17,850 purchase order for prepared and prepackaged meals to the 755th Military Police Company over fifteen days in May 2025. Award sizes range from $1,350 to $40,850, with the majority clustering between $8,000 and $40,000.

Activity has grown modestly — five awards in 2023, seven in 2024, eight in 2025 — with two awards recorded in 2026 to date. The vendor carries no government-wide contracts, parent vehicles, or teaming relationships; all awards are direct purchase orders from Army contracting offices in Puerto Rico. The vendor holds no subcontract work and does not appear as a subcontractor to larger primes. El Sabor De Mi Casa' s footprint is entirely performance-based at Puerto Rico military installations including Fort Buchanan, Camp Santiago, Fort Allen, and USARC Ramey Base, with all services delivered locally to Army units and training operations.
