Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE30023DSA14

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract to Senn Bros., Inc. to supply a full line of fresh fruits and vegetables to United States Department of Agriculture customers located in Montana. Task orders provided indicate delivery of over 90 produce items to schools and tribal reservations statewide, with a period of performance from October 2022 through September 2027 and total value not to exceed $4.9M. Individual fixed-price delivery orders issued by the Agency against this IDV range from $153 to $704 and require delivery of commodities such as apples, oranges, pears, potatoes and carrots to Senn Bros.' place of performance in Cayce, South Carolina by specified dates. No set-aside provisions were applied to these procurements in support of the Agency's mission to provide worldwide logistics and food service assistance to the Department of Defense and other government customers.

The original solicitation sought market research to develop a produce support contract for USDA schools and reservations across Montana, with responses requested by July 2021. Offerors would be evaluated on their ability to meet a delivery schedule for an estimated 91 items at USDA Grade 1 quality standards to locations statewide. The contemplated contract was for a base year and four option years not exceeding $18M total. The scope appears to procure fresh fruits and vegetables to satisfy the needs of USDA feeding programs operating in Montana through a single prime vendor capable of full-line distribution on a statewide basis.
