R & G Food Services Inc.

R & G Food Services Inc. Latitude Catering Division, doing business as Latitude Catering, is a woman-owned small business headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, that provides mobile catering and food services for federal wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and emergency operations exclusively as a prime contractor on total small business set-aside delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor is a subsidiary of Fire & Ice Holdings, Inc., and competes predominantly under Forest Service total small business set-asides across multiple contract vehicles.

Latitude Catering's entire federal footprint centers on delivering hot and cold meals, shift provisions, sack lunches, and fully equipped mobile food service units directly to firefighters, incident management teams, and emergency response personnel at remote wildfire base camps and incident command posts across the western United States. The company operates from dispatch points in Tucson, Arizona, and maintains regional operational bases in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Flagstaff and Phoenix, Arizona; and Sparks, Nevada, among other locations. Representative work includes a $7.37 million delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center awarded June 8, 2026, for designated dispatch points supporting national mobile food service unit operations through December 31, 2030; a $1.78 million May 30, 2026 Southwestern Region order in Alamogordo, New Mexico; and a $3.89 million July 19, 2025 order at Grand Canyon Village, Arizona—all structured as fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 66 of 174 total awards (88% of award count) with $244.4 million combined potential value—a dominant 79% of the vendor's total portfolio. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a whole (across all regions and components) represents 99% of combined potential value at $293.4 million across 141 awards. The vendor serves 13 customer agencies total, but the second-largest customer by potential value, the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, carries only $9.3 million across 3 awards. This customer concentration is the defining characteristic of the vendor's federal footprint: a single agency and component anchor nearly the entire revenue base.

Latitude Catering holds the Forest Service National Mobile Food Service Unit 2025-2029 IDIQ, a $45 million total small business set-aside awarded July 1, 2025, running through December 31, 2029 with renewal options. This parent vehicle has generated 18 task orders valued at $17.9 million as of the source date. The vendor also places orders under multiple other Forest Service indefinite delivery contracts, including IDC 12024B20T2515 (77 task orders, $40 million combined potential value) and IDC AG024BC159008A (2 task orders, $10.7 million potential value). All named customer agencies in the prime award portfolio are forest service components or interagency fire response entities.

Activity declined sharply from 2022 to 2024—26 awards in 2022 down to 5 in 2024—before recovering to 10 awards in 2025 and 16 in the first eight months of 2026. Only one award with completion inside the next twenty-four months appears in the recompete window (combined potential value $110 thousand), indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's Service Contract Inventory footprint is minimal: 39 total SCI records across FY2022-2025 with zero dollars invoiced against reportable thresholds and negligible FTE trajectory (a peak of 1.2 FTEs in FY2024). This discrepancy between high contract values in the award database and zero SCI invoicing reflects the vendor's likely use of commercial purchase-order and delivery-order mechanics that fall below SCI reporting requirements or are classified, combined with potential delays in SCI reporting cycles.

The vendor operates solely as a prime contractor (100% of all awards); no subcontractor positions appear in the portfolio. NAICS concentration is categorical: 121 awards under Food Service Contractors (NAICS 722320), 23 under Caterers (722330), and 12 under Support Activities for Forestry (115310). The corresponding PSC concentration is equally focused: 125 awards under Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (J117) and 20 under Housekeeping–Food (J201). Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $193.5 million (63% of combined potential value), indicating active execution across the portfolio.
