Basic Ordering Agreement SPE3S121GZ013

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence awarded a Basic Ordering Agreement to Nex-Xos Worldwide LLC, doing business as Xmre, to provide individual shelf-stable meals in support of Federal Emergency Management Agency relief efforts. Under the agreement, the agency issued four delivery orders totaling $1,372,616 to Xmre for the provision of commercial meals meeting minimum technical requirements to Pembroke Park, Florida by various dates in September 2021. The orders were placed in response to Hurricane Ida and had descriptions noting national interest action codes for the hurricane. The original solicitation sought shelf-stable meals with nutritional specifications and no fluid drink to support FEMA emergencies under an unrestricted acquisition with no set-aside designated.

As the primary logistics and procurement agency supplying the U.S. Department of Defense, the Defense Logistics Agency leveraged the Basic Ordering Agreement vehicle to rapidly acquire essential food for areas impacted by Hurricane Ida through fixed-price delivery orders awarded on a single-award basis to Xmre. The agency carries out contingency response programs to support delivery of sustenance items to troops and disaster relief efforts worldwide.
