Triplex Enterprises, L.L.C.

Triplex Enterprises, L.L.C., a woman-owned small business (WOSB) based in Dallas Center, Iowa, operates as a prime contractor providing catered meal services to federal military training operations under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The firm competes predominantly under small-business set-asides, holding 100% prime contract footprint with no recorded subcontract work.

Triplex Enterprises delivers buffet-style and plated meal services to support Army National Guard annual training events, leadership courses, and military exercises across Camp Dodge Joint Maneuver Training Center in Johnston, Iowa and subordinate military installations nationwide. Representative work includes a $215,962 firm-fixed-price contract with the Iowa Army National Guard for approximately 20,918 meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner service) to the 185th Regional Training Institute from October 2025 through August 2026; a $151,692 purchase order from the Iowa Army National Guard for 15,464 meals to the same institute from January through June 2024; and a $88,550 full-and-open purchase order from the Department of the Army for 7,700 meals at Camp Dodge during June 2025. Across all named work, Triplex adheres to strict food safety temperature standards (135 degrees Fahrenheit for hot foods, 41 degrees Fahrenheit for cold foods) and delivers meals at designated service windows.

The customer base remains concentrated in Department of the Army accounts, particularly the Iowa Army National Guard. The top five agencies by award count account for 84% of all awards; the Department of the Army holds 121 awards valued at $2.2 million, the Iowa Army National Guard sub-element carries 76 awards worth $656 thousand, and the remaining three customers (Air National Guard, Army Recruiting Command, and Georgia Army National Guard) collectively contribute $204 thousand across 16 awards. The dollar rankings track the award-count distribution — no significant tension between volume and value concentration exists.

Activity has declined year over year, falling from 17 awards in 2022 to 8 awards each in 2024 and 2025, with 1 award recorded in 2026 to date. One award valued at $216 thousand reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. Over its federal footprint, Triplex has generated $3.7 million in combined potential value across 255 awards since first appearing in federal records in July 2006. The firm's capability footprint concentrates in NAICS 722330 (Caterers) and PSC H (Housekeeping–Food), with secondary strength in food service contracting and perishable prepared foods manufacturing. All 255 awards are purchase orders for fixed-price meal delivery, with contract values ranging from $3,808 to $215,962 per award.
