The meals will be served at Fort Harrison in Mess Hall 410. The Government will allow the contractor limited use of the kitchen, which comprises a storage area in the refrigerator, and access to water and electrical outlets. Limited use excludes all equipment used to actually prepare meals. 2-4. MT ARNG Training Site Headquarters personnel shall provide guidance and instruction on inventory and facility policies and responsibilities.

The Contractor will adjust accordingly, and verify ADT / IDT meal numbers actually served respectively with the RTI Project Officer after each event. 3. Menu The Contractor shall serve nutritional meals consistent with favorable offerings served to commercial clientele. The Montana Army National Guard strictly uses the Armys General 20 Day Menu Information when preparing soldier meals with Army cooks. We off er it here as a guide and general standard. Refer to (http://montanaguard.com/USPFO_Home.htm). The meals served should include similar, but not exact, portions and servings of all food groups, beverages, and condiments indicated in the 20 Day Menu. Cont ractors are encouraged to replace meals from the 20 Day Menu with nutritional meals theyve tail ored and developed for commercial clientele as long as the integrity of a quality menu/meal is maintained.
