The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Army, is soliciting proposals for the provision of boxed noon meals (sub sandwiches) for applicants processing at the Jackson Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) in Mississippi. The contractor will be responsible for delivering meals Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays and scheduled training days, with an estimated total of 3,854 meals required annually over a contract period from November 1, 2024, to October 31, 2026. This procurement is crucial for supporting the nutritional needs of military applicants during their processing, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local food safety regulations. Interested small businesses, particularly service-disabled veteran-owned firms, must submit their proposals by the extended deadline of September 18, 2024, and can contact John Mcclain at john.r.mcclain2.civ@army.mil or John Haarala at john.p.haarala.civ@army.mil for further information.
