Bottling Group, LLC, doing business as Pepsi Beverages Company, was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence with a ceiling value of $250,000 and an ultimate completion date of September 27, 2025. The BPA was established on September 17, 2020, to provide an indefinite-delivery vehicle for the procurement of beverage products and related items to support the Department of Defense's subsistence and logistical requirements. As a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo, Inc., Bottling Group leverages its parent company's extensive distribution infrastructure and brand portfolio to supply non-alcoholic beverages including carbonated soft drinks, sports drinks, ready-to-drink teas, juices, and beverage bases. Performance is executed from facilities located in West Harrison and Briarcliff Manor, New York. No set-aside designation was used for this award, reflecting the contractor's status as a large business entity.

Since establishment, over a dozen delivery orders have been placed against the BPA to fulfill DLA Troop Support Subsistence requirements, with individual task orders ranging from approximately $333 to $5,540 in firm fixed-price contracts. The delivery orders documented through September 2022 evidence consistent demand for drinking water, single-strength tea, Gatorade products in various flavors (Glacier Freeze and Fruit Punch), and Pepsi-branded carbonated beverages in 20-ounce plastic bottles packaged in cases of 24 units. These call orders support the Defense Logistics Agency's mission to provision United States military forces with essential food and beverage supplies on an as-needed basis. The BPA streamlines procurement processes by enabling the DLA to efficiently order from Bottling Group's established product portfolio without requiring new competitive solicitations, thereby reducing administrative burden while maintaining access to quality beverage products for military personnel and installations worldwide.
