This single award IDV was established by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence, the agency responsible for procuring and providing food to the Department of Defense and other federal, state, and humanitarian organizations. The agreement aims to procure commercial shelf stable individual meals meeting technical requirements for nutritional content, shelf life, and ease of consumption to support the Federal Emergency Management Agency in providing food during domestic emergencies when standard food service may not be available or practical. The $29.4 million potential value and June 2023 end date for ordering indicate the large scope of need this agreement aims to address over its two year period of performance.
