AI Contract Overview

The contract seeks proposals for providing boxed meals to applicants at the New Orleans Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) in New Orleans, LA. The contract period begins on October 1, 2015, or the date of award if later, and runs through September 30, 2016, with the possibility of four one-year extensions. The contractor is responsible not only for supplying the food but also for providing the necessary facilities, furniture, equipment, supplies, management, supervision, and labor to ensure a complete service. This procurement is exclusively reserved for small businesses under NAICS code 722310, with a size standard of $38.5 million, and all qualified small businesses may submit proposals. Because New Orleans MEPS is on a military installation, compliance with AR 40-657 mandates that the contractor’s food preparation facility must pass a Veterinary Service Food Protection Audit before the contract award, ensuring the vendor is a sanitarily approved source. The contractor must coordinate with MICC-Fort Knox to schedule this inspection or obtain local approval, failure of which will disqualify them from consideration. The request for proposals (RFP) was expected to be posted around July 20, 2015, with proposals due by approximately August 20, 2015. All solicitation documents, amendments, and updates will be made available online through ASFI/FedBizOpps, and interested contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible.
