The contractor is required to provide all services and equipment/property necessary to perform Full Food Services at Fort Jackson, SC.

The extension for required service will result in a modification to the contract and the issuance of monthly task orders. Competition will be sought for the follow-on contract. This action is to prevent disruption of services by providing continuity of services currently being performed on Fort Jackson. The period of performance for this extension will be from 1 March 2012 through 31 August 2012. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or a solicitation for offers.
