The Michigan Army National Guard contracting office (USPFO-MI, Lansing) wants a small business to run a pre-deployment Yellow Ribbon event for the 125th Infantry Battalion, including meals, near Novi, Michigan. Performance is dated 21 November 2026 and the award will be a firm-fixed-price purchase order. Funds are not yet available, so no award can happen until they are.
Watch out for
- Funds not yet available. No award will be made until money is available and the Government can cancel before or after the closing date without paying your costs.
Funds are not presently available for this requirement.
- Missing sample menu can disqualify the quote. A quote without the lunch sample menu may be rejected outright.
Failure to provide a sample menu could render the quote unacceptable
- Adverse past performance records. Negative information in FAPIIS or SPRS (federal contractor performance databases) can make your quote unacceptable.
Negative or adverse information on FAPIIS or SPRS in the last three years may render your quote unacceptable.
- Quote must include total extended price. A quote that leaves out the total extended price may be rejected.
Quotes without the extended price may be rendered unacceptable.
