Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE30022DW005

This indefinite delivery contract (IDC) awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence to Lepage Bakeries, Inc., a subsidiary of Flowers Foods, Inc., provides for the delivery of a variety of fresh bread and bakery products to military facilities in the Northeast region of the United States. The $250,000 IDC, awarded without any set-aside designations, has a period of performance from February 2022 to March 2025. Under this contract, Lepage Bakeries supplies items such as white bread, whole wheat bread, hamburger rolls, hot dog rolls, Kaiser rolls, hoagie rolls, and English muffins to support troop feeding operations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Maine. The DLA issues firm-fixed-price delivery orders against the IDC, typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, to efficiently procure these critical food supplies for U.S. armed forces. Lepage Bakeries, as the prime contractor, fulfills these orders from its bakery facilities without any major subcontractors identified.

The original pre-solicitation notice from the DLA Troop Support Subsistence indicated the agency's intent to award an IDC contract for fresh bread and bakery products to serve military customers in the Northeast region. The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations, and the agency sought comments from potential offerors through a request for information prior to issuing the solicitation. The DLA's objective is to establish a streamlined procurement mechanism to rapidly acquire various fresh baked goods in support of troop feeding operations across Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Maine.
