The Pizza And Catering Gourmet LLC

The Pizza And Catering Gourmet LLC, operating as The Catering Gourmet, is a woman-owned small business based in Cranston, Rhode Island that provides catered meal services—breakfast, lunch, dinner, and boxed meals—to support military training operations and exercises as a prime contractor across all 132 recent federal awards. The vendor operates exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides, competing for meal procurement to the Department of the Army and Army National Guard components throughout New England.

The vendor's customer base is narrowly concentrated on a single funding agency and its regional components. The Department of the Army Massachusetts Army National Guard accounts for 61 awards valued at $7.5 million in combined potential value (85% of the total portfolio), followed by the Department of the Army proper with 49 awards at $760 thousand and the Department of the Army Rhode Island National Guard with 22 awards at $514 thousand. This customer concentration reflects a regional, mission-specific footprint rather than diversified federal reach—all work funds military training readiness in New England.

The vendor's federal work is structured almost entirely through Blanket Purchase Agreements, with five active BPAs anchoring the award portfolio. The largest is a $3 million multiple-award BPA with the Massachusetts Army National Guard (awarded September 2024, extending through August 2029) under which 25 task orders carry $495 thousand in combined potential value; a second Massachusetts Army National Guard BPA valued at $1.495 million (awarded February 2022, performance through January 2025) has generated 26 task orders at $211 thousand; a third Massachusetts Army National Guard vehicle (BPA W912SV20A0005) shows 26 task orders at $430 thousand; and a single-award $125 thousand BPA with the Rhode Island National Guard (awarded April 2023, extending through May 2028) supports on-demand meal procurement. Task orders under these vehicles range from several hundred dollars for small drill-weekend meals to six figures for larger training events such as the $231 thousand March 2025 Inactive Duty Training weekend drill contract and the $50 thousand July 2021 annual training meal award.

Activity has grown substantially year over year, rising from eight awards in 2022 to 39 in 2024, though 2025 activity (19 awards to date) and 2026 activity (8 awards through May) reflect seasonal or contract-cycle patterns typical of military training support rather than declining momentum. Recent representative prime awards include a $29 thousand firm fixed-price call for February 2026 IDT catered meals, a $24 thousand contract for February 2026 Inactive Duty Training operations, and a $39.7 thousand award for catering the annual Top Gun event at Camp Edwards in September 2025. The vendor performs all work at locations in Providence, Warwick, or Massachusetts installations such as Hanscom Air Force Base, with administrative oversight from its Cranston headquarters.

The vendor's award portfolio spans two primary NAICS categories—All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (80 awards) and Caterers (52 awards)—and two corresponding PSC codes: Special Dietary Foods and Food Specialty Preparations (79 awards) and Food, Oils and Fats (49 awards). The combined $8.8 million potential value across 132 awards carries $1.5 million in actual obligations, reflecting the task-order-driven nature of meal support contracts where not all ceiling value is typically spent. The vendor does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts, schedules, or multi-agency IDIQs; its footprint is built entirely on direct award BPAs with specific Army National Guard and Department of the Army procuring offices in the Northeast.
