Who can bid
- Small business (total small business set-aside)
Things to watch
- Serious: Small business set-aside. Only small businesses can quote.
- Worth checking: Unclear who provides supplies and serving labor. The notice says the unit provides service supplies and labor, then says the vendor shall NOT provide subsistence, supplies and serving labor; ask the contracting officer what the meal price must cover.
- Minor: Meal counts are estimates. Final troop numbers and serving times are set about a week ahead, so actual orders may differ from the estimates.
