The contractor must provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, lodging, dining, training facilities, and related services for 104 cadets and 28 cadre, including billeting, food service, and specialized activity areas, in accordance with the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The requirement is classified under NAICS 721214 (Food Services and Drinking Places). Although the notice lists “type of set‑aside: NONE,” the Government intends to set the award aside for small businesses if two or more qualified small businesses respond with sufficient capability, pricing, and competition‑enhancing recommendations. Offerors must identify whether they will compete as a prime or as a subcontractor, describe relevant past performance (prime or sub), provide commercial pricing data (market, catalog, or other basis), and suggest contract structuring or PWS improvements that will promote competition and avoid unnecessary restrictions. Responses are for market research only; no quotes or proposals are being solicited at this time. For competition‑related concerns, contact the MICC Advocate for Competition, Scott Kukes (scott.d.kukes.civ@army.mil; 520‑944‑7373).
