Summary (Newest Update)

Background The National Guard Bureau (NGB) is issuing this solicitation for meal preparation and serving services as part of their mission to support military personnel. The goal of this contract is to provide nutritious meals during designated meal periods using government-provided food items in Madison, WI. Work Details The contractor will be responsible for preparing and serving meals during one 2-hour meal period per day on the following dates: August 21-23, 2026, and September 11-12, 2026, totaling five days of service. The contractor must adhere to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Food Code, the Air Force Manual 48-147 (Tri-Service Food Code), and all applicable federal, state, and Air Force sanitation requirements. Additionally, at least one supervisor must have ServSafe or equivalent certification. The contractor will also be required to implement quality assurance procedures to ensure that services meet acceptable standards, including timely meal service (95% on-time delivery), spot cleaning during meal periods (95% compliance), and adherence to food handling regulations (100% compliance). Period of Performance The contract will be performed over a span of five days from August 21-23, 2026, and September 11-12, 2026. Place of Performance Madison, Wisconsin. Bidder Requirements This solicitation is a total small business set-aside. Bidders must provide complete pricing for all line items listed on the SF 1449 form. They must also submit a unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and CAGE code along with a summary of their technical capabilities related to this requirement. This includes an operational approach to performance with an execution plan/timeline and staffing model detailing personnel roles and certifications. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a closely related prior contract, with Choice Services identified as the awardee for W50S9F25PA010 (08/15/25–08/16/25) valued at $2,957. That prior effort required cooks and servers to provide food preparation and serving to support RSD on 15–16 August 2025, which aligns with the current requirement for meal preparation and serving using government-provided food items in Madison, WI over five service days in 2026.
