The Louisiana Army National Guard 256th IBCT (1‑141 FA) is issuing a small‑business set‑aside, firm‑fixed‑price RFQ (W912NR26QA009) for catered meals to support the TH Thunder Security Mission in New Orleans, LA. Vendors must provide an all‑inclusive 21‑day menu plan (Exhibit 1) that meets the nutritional and portion requirements in the Needs Statement, includes both protein options in each hot‑meal box when possible (e.g., both egg styles or both beef and chicken fajitas), and places all condiments inside each individual box for “grab‑and‑go” service. Quotes must be submitted electronically by 08 April 2026 11:00 a.m. CT, remain firm for 90 calendar days, and be presented on SF 1449 or equivalent letterhead with the solicitation number, vendor contact information, and a detailed technical description. Offerors must be SAM‑registered (active UEI, DUNS, CAGE, Federal Tax ID), located within the specified mileage radius of the delivery site, and submit a proposed menu, a capability statement describing FDA‑compliant temperature control during transport, a health‑inspection report dated within the past 12 months for the food‑service facility, and past‑performance documentation. Price will be evaluated first for fairness and reasonableness, then the lowest‑priced offer will be assessed against the five acceptability factors; if unacceptable, the next lowest price will be considered. Mobilization costs must be incorporated into the all‑inclusive price, as no upfront government payments will be made.
