S--Catering and Food Services for Annual SCUSA Conference

The United States Military Academy intends to award a sole source purchase order to the Cadet Restaurant, part of the Cadet Activities Fund at West Point, NY, for catering and food services during the Annual SCUSA Conference held at the academy. The estimated contract value is $28,000. This procurement is justified under federal code 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), citing that only a single responsible source can fulfill the requirement, thereby exempting it from full and open competition. The associated NAICS code is 722110, which covers food services, with an applicable size standard of $7 million. This notice does not solicit quotations or offers, nor will there be a formal solicitation released for this procurement. The government maintains discretion over whether to compete the requirement after receiving any responses to the notice. The award process is expedited with a two-day response window instead of the standard 45 days. The contract and performance location are tied to the Department of Defense office at West Point, NY, reflecting the specificity of the service needed for the annual conference event.
