What this contract is for

The Virginia National Guard is seeking to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) with multiple vendors for the preparation and delivery of breakfast, lunch, or dinner meals in Gate City, Cedar Bluff, Hanover, Powhatan, and Onancock, VA. Government facilities are not available for the preparation of meals. Meals shall be prepared off-site and delivered ready for consumption in individualized containers. Catering, or serving of meals, is not required. Call orders will be placed against established BPAs and may require the delivery of cold or hot menu items to include an individual beverage. Individual call orders will identify the specific delivery dates, meal type, quantity, and delivery location. The BPA will have up to a 60-month ordering period with a maximum ceiling up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). A Request for Quote (RFQ) will be issued around end of July 2026 with a closing date in early August 2026. The first requirement is anticipated in October 2026. The RFQ will be issued as a small business set-aside under the North American Industrial Classification System code 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), with a business size standard of 700 employees. The Product Service Code (PSC) is 8970 (Composite Food Packages). The Government will not pay for costs associated with the preparation of a quote in response to the solicitation. To be considered for an award, vendors shall have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://sam.gov. Vendors are responsible for ensuring that the representations and certifications in their SAM registration are accurate and current.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
