1. Introduction and Project Context
The Army-s Mission Installation Contracting Command (MICC), Installation Readiness Center (IRC), in coordination with the Army Sustainment Command (ASC), is launching the Dining Excellence Initiative (DINEX), a focused effort to overhaul and modernize food service operations specifically within its Transformation and Training Command (T2COM) garrisons.
The goal of the DINEX initiative is to seek innovative, flexible solutions that deliver superior outcomes compared to the existing food service model, ensuring optimal nutrition and sustainment for the next generation of Soldiers.
2. Acquisition Authority and Method
This announcement serves as a Solicitation Notice regarding the Army's intent to issue a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) for the DINEX initiative.
Authority: This CSO will be issued under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 4022. The Award resulting from this CSO will be executed as an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for prototype projects.
Acquisition Streamlining: As an OTA under 10 U.S.C. 4022, this effort is not subject to the Competition in Contracting Act, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), or the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). This flexible process is critical for quickly identifying and fielding cutting-edge commercial solutions and maximizing collaboration with both traditional and non-traditional defense contractors.
3. Area of Interest (AoI)
The Army seeks innovative solutions and new capabilities for a single Area of Interest (AoI): Enhanced Food Service Operations for T2COM Garrisons (Scope provided as Attachment 1 to this posting).
Solutions may involve the introduction of new technologies or procedures not currently used by the Army, modifications to existing practices, or entirely new operational models that deliver significant financial or operational benefits in a high-throughput, structured training environment.
