The Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence division awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract to Buffalo Rock Co, a major beverage manufacturer and distributor based in Columbus, Georgia. The $4.9 million, 5-year contract calls for Buffalo Rock Bottling, the company's operating division, to supply a variety of Gatorade sports drinks and Pepsi sodas in both bottled and bag-in-box formats to support military dining facilities and troop readiness worldwide. This contract consolidates numerous individual delivery orders, ranging from $233 to $3,786, that the agency previously issued to Buffalo Rock for the procurement and distribution of these beverages from the company's production facility in Mountain Brook, Alabama. The original market research effort sought sources for carbonated, non-carbonated, electrolyte, and juice drinks in bag-in-box format, but the final award was to Buffalo Rock Bottling to fulfill the military's requirements through DLA's Prime Vendor Program. No set-asides or subcontracting plans were specified for this contract, as the agency aims to streamline the procurement and supply chain for these critical troop sustainment products.
