The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence awarded Ameriqual Packaging a Basic Ordering Agreement with a potential value of $6,345,216 to provide individual meals. Under this IDV, the agency issued two firm fixed price delivery orders valued at $145,152 and $290,304 respectively to support Hurricane Ida relief efforts. Both orders required Ameriqual Packaging to deliver commercial shelf stable individual meals from its Evansville, Indiana facility by September 23, 2021.

The originating solicitation sought commercial shelf stable meals to support Federal Emergency Management Agency emergencies. Meals were required to have a 10-12 month shelf life at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, contain between 800-1460 calories, and meet standards for fat, sodium, protein and carbohydrate content. The solicitation also detailed minimum technical requirements for individual meals and instructed interested parties to contact an agency point of contact for the Basic Ordering Agreement and proposal submission instructions.

In summary, this IDV and associated task orders aim to provision commercial shelf stable individual meals from Ameriqual Packaging's Indiana facility to support the Defense Logistics Agency's disaster feeding mission in areas impacted by Hurricane Ida, as outlined in the agency's original solicitation seeking such products and services.
