Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE3S125DZ205

Ameriqual Group LLC, through its Ameriqual Packaging Division, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence with a ceiling value of $221.06 million and a period of performance extending from August 11, 2025 through August 10, 2030. This contract procures specialized meal solutions and food products designed to support military feeding operations and federal emergency response requirements. The contract scope encompasses the supply of Unitized Group Rations (UGRs), reduced sodium meals, Survivor Daily Rations, short shelf-life meals, and commercial meal products meeting strict government nutritional and shelf-life specifications. The awarded contract does not utilize any set-aside designation, indicating that Ameriqual Packaging competed on an unrestricted basis based on its proven technical capabilities, pricing competitiveness, and established track record of delivering compliant meal products to federal agencies.

The original procurement opportunity was posted as a pre-solicitation on June 22, 2022, with a HUBZone set-aside designation and a due date of July 6, 2022; however, the ultimate award reflected a non-set-aside competitive process. Ameriqual's selection reflects the company's extensive experience in manufacturing shelf-stable and perishable meal products meeting Defense Department specifications, as well as its existing portfolio of significant federal contracts with both the DLA Troop Support Subsistence and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The contracted meals are intended to provide sustained nutrition for military personnel during field operations and to support disaster relief and emergency response activities, with technical requirements including specified calorie ranges, nutritional composition standards, and shelf-life parameters typically ranging from 10 to 12 months for various product categories.
