Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE3S122DZ246

The federal contract IDV award SPE3S122DZ246 was issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence to the prime contractor So-Pak-Co, Inc., doing business as Sopakco Packaging. The IDV, valued at $25,869,450, allows for the issuance of multiple delivery orders to meet the government's diverse military feeding requirements, including the provision of Meals Ready-to-Eat (MREs), religious meals, First Strike Rations, and other specialized combat rations. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, indicating Sopakco's competitive standing in the open market for government food supply contracts. The task orders issued under this IDV cover a range of products such as protein drinks, hand cleaner, freeze-dried coffee, shelled cashew nuts, chocolate, and granola cereal, with values ranging from $45,250 to $2,186,725. The delivery orders are firm fixed-price arrangements, typical for the procurement of standardized food items for the military, with periods of performance extending through 2025.

The original federal contract opportunity, a pre-solicitation notice for UGR-E (Unitized Group Ration - Express) component items, was posted on December 15, 2021, with a due date of December 30, 2021. This presolicitation indicates the government's ongoing need for specialized military meal solutions to support operational feeding requirements. Sopakco Packaging, with its extensive experience and capabilities in providing a diverse range of military rations, has demonstrated its ability to competitively secure these types of federal contracts from the DLA Troop Support Subsistence.
