Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE30021DS306

This indefinite-delivery contract was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence to procure various fresh produce items for delivery to locations in Garland, Texas. Task orders provided indicate the agency issued multiple firm fixed price delivery orders against this contract vehicle valued up to approximately $5 million over five years to Brothers Produce of Dallas, Inc. for products including fresh grapes, apples, tomatoes, broccoli, lettuce and pears. No set-aside provisions were specified in the orders, which required delivery of the items by September 2021 at the latest as awarded on various dates that month. As the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence supports worldwide food distribution for the Department of Defense, these orders totaling over $100,000 were likely placed to supply fresh fruits and vegetables to military dining facilities and troops stationed in the local region through the prime vendor contract held by Brothers Produce.
