--Industry Day  Nutrition Care A-76

The US Army Medical Command Center for Health Care Contracting is undertaking an A-76 Commercial Activities Study to competitively evaluate nutrition care services at ten Medical Treatment Facilities across the United States. This study encompasses the preparation and delivery of patient meals based on medical directives, adherence to dietary requirements, collaboration with medical personnel regarding patient care, and the overall management of commercial food services within military hospitals. The objective is to assess and potentially contract these services through a competitive acquisition process. An Industry Day event is scheduled for November 29, 2006, at Reynolds Army Community Hospital at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Starting at 9:00 AM in the hospital cafeteria, the event will serve as a platform for market research and acquisition strategy discussions related to the A-76 competition. Attendees will have the opportunity to tour the nutrition care operations, receive briefings, ask questions, and engage in open forums about possible approaches to the procurement. Interested parties must provide advance notice to ensure proper arrangements, coordinating with designated contacts Ms. Shirley Tolbert and Mr. Gary Hankins.
