The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence division, awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Bimbo Bakeries USA, Inc. (doing business as Sara Lee), a large commercial bakery. The IDC, valued up to $6,375,000, is for the delivery of various fresh bread products, including white, whole wheat, whole grain, and multi-grain loaves, as well as dinner rolls, hamburger and hot dog buns, bagels, and other specialty items. These products are to support military food services, as well as food services for veterans, hospital patients, and inmates in federal correctional facilities.
The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations, as Bimbo Bakeries USA is a large for-profit commercial entity with the capacity to consistently fulfill the government's large-scale bread requirements. In addition to the IDC, the company holds a separate $400,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration specifically for supplying bread products to VA facilities within the VISN 21 region. Bimbo Bakeries USA's demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality bread items in a timely manner has made it a preferred vendor for many government agencies, including the Department of Defense, Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, and Department of Veterans Affairs.
