The Michigan Army National Guard (USPFO-MI) wants a small business to run a Pre-Deployment Yellow Ribbon event and provide meals for the 125th Infantry Battalion, within 10 miles of Novi, MI. The event takes place on November 21, 2026 under a firm-fixed-price purchase order. Quotes are due November 3, 2026.
Watch out for
- Sample menu required. A quote without a sample lunch menu may be rejected outright.
- Short timeline and single-day event. Quotes are due in about four weeks for an event on November 21, so you need to be able to staff and supply quickly.
- Adverse past-performance records. Negative information in FAPIIS or SPRS can make a quote unacceptable.
Negative or adverse information on FAPIIS or SPRS in the last three years
