About Smart Choice Gourmet LLC
Smart Choice Gourmet LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and SBA-certified veteran-owned small business (VOSB) based in Copperas Cove, Texas, operates exclusively as a prime contractor providing catered meal services to the Department of the Army and Army National Guard units across domestic and overseas training locations. The company is also self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and Black American-owned enterprise, competing entirely under total small business set-asides (23 prime awards, zero subcontract work).
Smart Choice Gourmet's capability portfolio centers on catering and meal-service delivery for military training exercises, characterized by off-site meal preparation and on-site or remote delivery of breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals that meet military nutritional standards and accommodate dietary restrictions. Representative work includes a $1.134 million firm-fixed-price contract from Army Forces Command to provide breakfast and dinner to 1,857 soldiers at Dona Ana Training Complex in New Mexico from January through March 2024; a $184,947 catering support contract from the New York Army National Guard for Fort Drum training events (awarded July 29, 2024); and a $119,256 contract from the Tennessee National Guard to feed three Army training units during annual training exercises in Lavinia, Tennessee in June 2025. Smaller task-order volumes—typically $5,000 to $35,000 per award—support individual National Guard units at Camp Blanding (Florida), Camp Perry (Ohio), Camp Dodge (Iowa), Camp Santiago (Puerto Rico), and other domestic and overseas locations.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Army and its component commands. The Army accounts for 91% of award count (16 awards, $330 thousand combined potential value), while Army Forces Command anchors the largest single contract at $1.134 million. The New York Army National Guard placed two awards totaling $202 thousand; the Tennessee, Puerto Rico, and Texas Army National Guards account for the remainder. By potential value, Army Forces Command represents 60% of the combined $1.8 million portfolio, followed by the regular Department of the Army at 18%, and state National Guards at 9% combined.
Activity shows volatile year-to-year growth: three awards in 2023, thirteen in 2024, six in 2025, and one in 2026 (through mid-January). Eleven awards completed or reach completion by mid-2024; the vendor faces a modest recompete pipeline of lower-value task orders in the near term. The company obligated $1.8 million across all awards (97% of potential value), indicating contracts are performing or near performance completion. NAICS categorization splits between Caterers (18 awards) and Food Service Contractors (3 awards), with the balance in perishable prepared food and mobile food services. Smart Choice Gourmet holds no parent vehicle seats (GWACs, BPAs, agency-wide IDIQs) and competes solely through direct solicitation of Army and National Guard RFQs evaluated on best value, price, technical capability, and past performance.
