EMERGENCY MEALSThe Regional Contracting Office MCI-WEST is conducting market research through a Request for Information to identify qualified contractors capable of providing emergency meal services to fire departments at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. The requirement centers on the delivery of sack lunches, hot meals, water, electrolyte drinks, bags of ice, and refrigerated transport via 16-foot trucks, with delivery expected within four hours of order placement and a 15-minute response time. The work will be conducted under an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with one base year and four one-year options, and the North American Industry Classification System code is 311991 with a 500-employee size standard. This is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, and respondents must confirm their eligibility under applicable socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB status. All submissions must include the company’s DUNS number, CAGE code, a statement of socio-economic certification, confirmation of compliance with the Performance Work Statement, and proof of recent experience delivering similar emergency meals to first responders within the past three years, including contract numbers and values. Responses must be submitted electronically via email to gary.lane@usmc.mil no later than 11:00 AM PST on August 7, 2026, and are strictly for market research purposes—not constituting offers or binding proposals. The Government will not pay for submissions or notify respondents of evaluations. Meal specifications include heavy-duty paper sacks with color differentiation for vegetarian and regular meals, individual packaging of all snacks and condiments in factory-sealed packets, and strict labeling of preparation and consumption times. Packaging must use cardboard boxes holding exactly 10 meals, prohibit Styrofoam, and comply with FDA Title 21 CFR Part 110 for sanitary practices. Meals must be consumed within 24 hours of preparation unless otherwise authorized. Delivery tickets require two signed copies submitted within one business day, and the Government does not cover mileage costs. No formal pricing, contract clauses, evaluation factors, or payment details are included, as this RFI is solely for gathering industry capabilities to inform future procurement actions. Technical oversight and contracting officer roles remain TBD, with Gary Lane serving as the primary point of contact for submissions.
