The North Dakota Army National Guard issued solicitation W901UZ26Q4916 as a total small business set-aside under NAICS 722320 for catered meal services. The contract requires the provision of breakfast and dinner for the 231 Quartermaster Platoon during their annual training at Camp Dodge in Des Moines, Iowa, from April 20 to May 2, 2026. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, materials, equipment, and transportation to serve approximately 156 breakfasts and 84 dinners, with an allowable volume variation of plus or minus 10 percent. Deliverables include government-approved menus featuring meat, starch, vegetables, fruit, and dairy, as well as the provision of all dinnerware, condiments, and beverages. This is a firm-fixed price purchase order awarded based on technical acceptability and price, with past performance evaluated on a pass/fail basis. The government utilizes a trade-off process rather than a lowest price technically acceptable approach. Contractors must be registered in SAM and submit all invoices electronically via the Wide Area Workflow System. Key performance requirements include strict adherence to state health laws, installation security protocols, and background checks for all personnel. Notably, the use of on-site kitchen facilities is restricted to warming only, as the cooking of raw food is prohibited.
