The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 722310, Food Service Contractors, which has a size standard of $47 million. This requirement was previously announced, but never solicited, under ID: HT940826RE017. The Government has updated some of the documents that were previously posted as a result of questions asked since the initial posting; if an interested party still has questions or feels that any information is still unclear, they are encouraged to submit those questions to the POCs listed herein. The Defense Health Agency has a requirement for non-personal services providing qualified labor and management necessary to perform nutrition care food management, supervisory, technical, administrative, and clerical services that focus primarily on the following areas: dining facility management functions, therapeutic food preparation, patient tray assembly and delivery service, clinical training, facility sanitation, janitorial duties as it relates to the services being provided, and the associated logistics analysis and management functions in support of the Nutrition Care Divisions for five (5) Military Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs). The following MTFs requiring the Nutrition Care Food Service support are: Weed Army Community Hospital (Fort Irwin, California), General Leonard Wood Community Hospital (Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri), Irwin Army Community Hospital (Fort Riley, Kansas), Winn Army Community Hospital (Fort Stewart, Georgia), and Keller Army Community Hospital (West Point, New York). A transition period of 1 December 2026 � 31 January 2027, base period of 1 February 2027 � 30 September 2027, and two (2) twelve-month option periods through 30 September 2029 are contemplated. The contract will be firm-fixed-price, with a set monthly price established per MTF. Multiple contracts may be awarded, up to one (1) per MTF. The Randolph Sheppard Act (RSA) applies to this requirement; therefore, priority will be given to any responsive State Licensing Agency (SLA) pursuant to the RSA. The priority established by the RSA applies to the award of contracts for the operation of cafeterias on Federal property. NOTE: The evaluation criteria will be the same for all offerors, including any responsible SLA. However, the solicitation will be issued on a full-and-open basis with a small business participation (eg, subcontracting) plan as one of the evaluation criteria for other-than-small businesses and non-SLAs.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This record is in a solicitation stage, so submission instructions, evaluation factors, attachments and amendments should be reviewed before a bid/no-bid decision.
The stored deadline is within ten days. Build an internal submission deadline and verify whether questions, site visits, registrations or approvals are due earlier.
The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.
NAICS 722310 · PSC S203 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit stores 2 notices tied to this solicitation. Review the notice chain and official SAM.gov history because later postings can change dates, scope or instructions.
GovBidFit stores the source notice text, but its length does not prove the requirements are complete. Review official attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A before relying on the description.
