The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract to Acosta, Inc., a for-profit sales and marketing firm, to provide a variety of commercial beverage products to military dining facilities and troops worldwide. The $4.9 million contract, which runs through January 2029, covers the delivery of 5-gallon containers of sodas, fruit juices and punches, sports and energy drinks, tea products, and beverage bases for mixing drinks on-site. Order values have ranged from $47 to $274,860, with most falling between $100 and $10,000. The original solicitation indicated the DLA was seeking sources for fresh produce distribution to school districts, but the actual scope has been to utilize Acosta as a prime vendor for the commercial beverage brands needed to supplement military food service operations globally. The DLA has leveraged this indefinite delivery contract to issue numerous short-term delivery orders to stock facilities with truckload quantities of popular soda, juice, and tea products. No set-asides were used, and Acosta has performed as the sole prime contractor without any identified subcontractors. This contract award aligns with the DLA Troop Support Subsistence's mission to provide food, beverage, and other subsistence items to U.S. military, federal, and international customers.
