EMERGENCY MEALS
Solicitation # M0068126Q0071
The Regional Contracting Office MCI-WEST is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified contractors capable of providing emergency meal services in support of the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Fire Departments. The scope includes the preparation and delivery of sack lunches, hot lunches, water, electrolyte drinks, bags of ice, and rental of refrigerated trucks during wildfire season, with services required to meet U.S. Forest Service caloric standards for wildland firefighters. The procurement is structured under NAICS code 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Preparation) with a 500-employee small business size standard and is set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5. Contractors must submit a brief capabilities statement by 7 August 2026, 11:00 AM PST, via email to gary.lane@usmc.mil, including their DUNS number, CAGE code, and socioeconomic status certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designation, along with verifiable experience delivering similar services to first responders within the past three years, including contract numbers and values. The RFI is not a solicitation for proposals, and responses will not form a binding contract or result in reimbursement; all submissions are treated as proprietary and will be used solely to inform final acquisition planning. Performance requirements specify delivery within four hours of request, response to orders within 15 minutes, and strict adherence to food safety protocols under 21 CFR Part 110, with meals labeled for preparation and consumption times, packaged in approved containers using color-coded bags to distinguish dietary types, and packed in sets of ten per box. No frozen or styrofoam materials are permitted, snacks must be individually wrapped with full ingredient listings, and delivery tickets must be submitted signed within one business day. The anticipated contract, if issued, would be an IDIQ with one base year and four one-year options. All transportation costs are borne by the contractor, and no mileage reimbursement will be provided. No formal FAR clauses, pricing data, or award evaluation criteria are currently defined, as this is strictly a pre-solicitation market research effort; the contract will be awarded based on future solicitation results.
