The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence division awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract to Creation Gardens, Inc. to provide fresh fruits, vegetables, and other perishable food items to Department of Defense and non-Department of Defense schools located in Pennsylvania. The original solicitation was issued as a total small business set-aside with a maximum contract value of $196.8 million over a five-year period. The contract has a ceiling value of $4.9 million and a performance period through September 2027. Under this IDV, the DLA can place delivery orders for a full line of fresh produce on an as-needed basis to support various feeding programs. Creation Gardens, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation, has been awarded numerous firm fixed price delivery orders for items such as tomatoes, broccoli, apples, oranges, and mixed berries, to be delivered to military facilities in Kentucky. The contract was awarded based on technical factors like valid PACA licensing and GAP/GHP certification, as well as competitive pricing. Creation Gardens has also received a USDA grant to explore developing farm-to-corporate partnerships as a new market category for regional food producers.
