Pepper Moon Catering Awarded Five-Year Single-Award BPA with NC Army National Guard (NC-ARNG)

HIGH POINT, N.C. - Rezul -- While Pepper Moon is widely recognized across the Triad for weddings, corporate gatherings, and social celebrations, this milestone reflects a quieter growth strategy unfolding behind the scenes—one grounded in operational excellence, compliance rigor, and service to those who serve.

The February 10, 2026 award marks the culmination of a deliberate multi-year progression and a significant expansion of Pepper Moon's role in institutional, government, and military food service contracting.

Pepper Moon's federal contracting journey began in 2020, when the company entered the federal procurement space—monitoring solicitations, submitting bids, and learning the complexities of military acquisition processes. At the time, many opportunities were structured as Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) reverse auctions, prioritizing price over performance. Pepper Moon believed service members deserved more than the lowest acceptable standard—they deserved quality, reliability, and professionalism.

That commitment was tested early when the North Carolina Army National Guard required rapid-response support at Camp Butner. Pepper Moon mobilized within 24 hours to deliver approximately 1,500 meals over two days, demonstrating operational capability and establishing early trust with Guard leadership.

In June 2024, Pepper Moon secured a position on a competitive statewide multi-award Master BPA with the NC-ARNG, allowing the company to participate for meal service call orders while strengthening internal compliance systems and logistics infrastructure.

On February 10, 2026, Pepper Moon was awarded a new five-year Single-Award BPA as the sole prime contractor. The agreement maintains a $975,000 ceiling and expands service coverage to all North Carolina.

"This award represents disciplined growth and earned trust," said Joe Staehly, CEO and Owner of Pepper Moon. "Supporting the North Carolina Army National Guard is both an operational responsibility and a deep honor."

While Pepper Moon's reputation is rooted in hospitality and events, the agreement highlights the company's growing role in government and military food service operations.
