Description

The U.S. Government intends to award, on a sole source basis, a contract to Department Of Milatary Affiars (DMA) Louisiana For Food and facilities to support training of the JROTC cadets. The statutory authority for the sole source procurement of these services is RFO Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.102(a), Soliciting from a Single Source, which states, "For purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), (i) Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available." However, the Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC} Fort Knox is seeking vendors that may be capable of performing these services in order to support a competitive procurement. Accordingly, the U.S. Government highly encourages all interested businesses (large and small) to respond to this notice. In addition, be advised that the U.S. Government will not be able to set­aside this requirement for small businesses unless 2 or more small businesses respond with information sufficient to support the requirement as a set-aside. We encourage all small businesses, in all socioeconomic categories (including, 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantage Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service­Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business concerns), to identify their capabilities in meeting the requirement at a fair market price. This notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ)/lnvitation for Bid (IFB)/Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFQ, IFB or RFP in the future. This notice does not commit the U.S. Government to contract for any supply or service. Further, the U.S. Government is not seeking quotes, bids or proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals in response to this notice. The U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. Submittals will not be returned to the responder. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer (KO). However, if a competitive solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Governmentwide Point of Entry. It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor the Governmentwide Point of Entry for additional information pertaining to this requirement. The anticipated NAICS code is: 722310- Food Services Contractors with a size standard of $47,000,000.00. The requested period of performance is 2 June to 6 June 2026. The contract place of performance is Minden, Louisiana.
