    The U.S. Army launched the Dining Excellence Initiative, or DINEX, December 11, 2025, to modernize food service operations across Army training installations. A combined endeavor between the Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) and the Army Sustainment Command (ASC), the initiative is designed to leverage commercial innovation to provide Soldiers with healthy, convenient and appealing food options that support readiness, resilience and performance during training and missions. MICC contracting experts will execute DINEX through a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) that will be awarded as an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA). The MICC issued a draft CSO Dec. 11, 2025, on SAM.gov. Companies are encouraged to review and provide feedback no later than Jan. 12, 2026. The Army anticipates issuing a final CSO on or around Jan. 26, 2026.
