256th 1-141 TF Thunder Catered Meals

The Louisiana Army National Guard 256th IBCT 1‑141 FA is issuing a small‑business set‑aside RFQ (W912R‑26‑Q‑A009, NAICS 722320) for catered meals to support the TH Thunder security mission in New Orleans, LA. The requirement consists of a 21‑day meal plan (Exhibit 1) with all‑inclusive pricing that covers food preparation, delivery, and compliance with FDA temperature standards. Offerors must submit a complete proposal by 08 April 2026 11:00 a.m. (Central) that includes the solicitation number, vendor contact information, a technical description of the meals, a proposed daily menu, a capability statement describing how meals will be transported to maintain required temperatures, a recent (≤12 months) state or local health inspection report for the preparation facility, and past‑performance data on government contracts. Vendors must also be actively registered in SAM and provide UEI, D‑U‑N‑S, CAGE, and Federal Tax ID numbers. Evaluation will be based first on price (firm for 90 calendar days) and then on five acceptability factors: proximity to the delivery site (within the specified miles), menu compliance with the Needs Statement, temperature‑control capability, current health inspection, and past performance. Quotes must be submitted on SF 1449 or equivalent letterhead, and any missing or blank information will render the offer non‑considerable. The contract will be awarded as a firm‑fixed‑price award under FAR 12 simplified acquisition procedures, with the Government reserving the right to award partial quantities at quoted unit prices.
