AI Contract Overview

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center intends to award a sole source Firm Fixed Price Commercial Purchase Order to ESS-ARE-BEE Corporation dba Bernstein’s Fine Catering for catering services at the 2026 Air Force Materiel Command International Ball held at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The contract, designated as CLIN 0001, covers catering for a select group of 50 to 100 Office Representation Funds funded guests among the overall 300 to 400 attendees. The decision to proceed without competition is justified under RFO 6.103-1(c)(2) due to the significant cost duplication that would occur if a different vendor were selected, given that Bernstein’s Fine Catering has already been chosen for the larger, privately funded catering component of the event. The NAICS code 722320 applies, with a small business size standard of $9.0 million, and no setaside is being used. This notice is strictly for information purposes and not a solicitation; no proposals or quotes will be accepted or considered beyond the stated deadline of July 17, 2026, at 1400, and all inquiries must be emailed to Tracy Ferrise and Ally Peterangelo. The government retains full discretion to proceed without competition based on the sole source justification.

Full Description

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Base Support Branch (AFLCMC/PZIBB) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), OH intends to award a sole source contract to:

ESS-ARE-BEE Corporation

dba Bernstein’s Fine Catering

3100 Woodman Drive

Kettering, OH 45420-1142

This requirement is for the following:

CLIN Item Quantity

CLIN 0001 Catering Services 1 Each

The contract will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Commercial Purchase Order and carried out as a sole source action (not competitively awarded). This authority is supported by an approved Single Source Justification. The applicable NAICS code is 722320 Caterers. This NAICS code has a small business size standard of $9.0 million.

Air Force Security Assistance and Cooperation (AFSAC) requires an evening catering service for the 2026 Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) International Ball being held at the National Museum of the United States Air Force (NMUSAF) at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. The International Ball guest attendance ranges from 300 to 400 individuals; however, this requirement is specific to a select group of those attendees (50 to 100) categorized as Office Representation Funds (ORF) funded guests.

The Government intends to utilize the same contractor that has been selected for the larger catering services contract, which is being paid for using personal funds. Awarding to a contractor other than Bernstein’s Fine Catering would result in a substantial duplication of cost to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, in accordance with RFO 6.103-1(c)(2). Please see Attachment 2, Sole Source Justification, for more complete details.
