The Department of Homeland Security is seeking Full Food Services for the USCG Sector in Galveston/Houston, TX, under NAICS code 722310. This solicitation is set aside for 8(a) small businesses, allowing qualified vendors to submit quotations. Notably, the procurement is also subject to the Randolph-Sheppard Act, which gives priority to blind vendors represented by State Licensing Agencies, meaning that while small businesses can compete, blind vendors may have a statutory preference in the award process. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation notice, indicating that interested vendors should track the opportunity closely rather than submit bids immediately.
