Sapphire Services, L.L.C.

Sapphire Services, L.L.C. Sapphire Catering Division, doing business as Sapphire Catering, operates as a woman-owned small business prime contractor providing catering, meal preparation, and food service support to Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Agriculture agencies across Arizona, competing entirely in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements on Air Force contracts and mixing full-and-open with total small business set-asides on border and correctional facility work.

Sapphire Catering is headquartered in Sahuarita, Arizona, and structured as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation. The vendor holds primary NAICS classification 722330 (Caterers) with secondary footprint in perishable prepared food manufacturing. All 30 recent prime awards carry no subcontractors; the vendor executes performance directly. Recent representative work includes a $74,586 firm fixed-price BPA call from Air Education and Training Command (AETC) on October 1, 2025, for housekeeping and food services supporting UTA (Unit Training Assembly) troop feeding at Luke Air Force Base with September 30, 2026 completion; a $163,340 AETC BPA call awarded February 1, 2025, for troop feeding during UTAs in Sahuarita with September 30, 2025 completion; a $250,000 total small business set-aside BPA call from Customs and Border Protection awarded July 28, 2023, for snack food to U.S. Border Patrol Tucson Sector; and a $40,458 firm fixed-price purchase order from USDA Forest Service Southwestern Region awarded September 17, 2023, for meal support during the BOLT FIRE incident response in Tucson.

Customer concentration tilts heavily toward Air Force training and operational commands. AETC anchors the award count with 8 awards worth $1.6 million combined potential value, while Air Combat Command contributes 5 awards worth $1.4 million. The top five customer agencies account for 90% of recent awards by count and 99% by combined potential value. The dual ranking reveals Air Force volume dominance (AETC and ACC together represent $3 million of the $4.2 million total) balanced against a secondary customer base in USDA Forest Service (7 awards, $137 thousand), Customs and Border Protection (3 awards, $1 million), and Department of Veterans Affairs (4 awards, $29 thousand), all sourced to Arizona locations.

Sapphire Catering holds three active parent BPAs. The Air Education and Training Command BPA (FA487721A0005) carries a $1 million ceiling with January 23, 2030 ultimate completion and has generated 10 task orders worth $731 thousand combined potential value for UTA meal support. The Customs and Border Protection single-award BPA (70B03C23A00000025) carries a $499,999 ceiling (July 26, 2024 completion, now expired) and supported 2 task orders worth $500 thousand for Border Patrol snack food in the Tucson Sector. A second Air Combat Command BPA (FA488725A0005) has generated 2 task orders worth $263 thousand for catering at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.

Activity has declined from eight awards in 2021 to three in 2025, with only one award (valued at $99 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete cliff pressure. Award patterns concentrate on recurring meal support contracts at fixed Air Force installations and predictable training-support ordering cycles, with seasonal forest-fire response work providing secondary volume. The vendor's footprint is geographically confined to Arizona with performance predominantly at Luke Air Force Base, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, and Tucson-area Border Patrol and federal corrections facilities.
