Fort Greely, about 100 miles south of Fairbanks, Alaska, is facing “a critical disruption in food service operations resulting from the government’s loss of essential civilian positions due to the Deferred Resignation Program (DRP), retirements and the federal hiring freeze,” the Army wrote in its justification review document filed to allow for a waiver to requirements for a competitive bid contract. The solicitation and documents were posted on government websites.
The lack of staff as a result of the quasi-official Department of Government Efficiency campaign had led to reduced dining facility hours, “jeopardizing the readiness” of soldiers, the document said.
“Without an operable dining facility, military and government workers will be denied accessibility to prepared meals on the installation,” the command said. “That will result in negatively impacting their physical and cognitive readiness and contribute to degraded performance during training and normal duty requirements.”
Lambert here: “quasi-official,” eh?
