Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE3S125DZ770

Ameriqual Group LLC, operating through its Ameriqual Packaging Division and headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, has been awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence—a Defense agency responsible for military feeding operations. The contract, effective from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2029, carries a ceiling value of $4,900,000 and procures Unitized Group Rations (UGRAs), which are specialized meal solutions designed to support military personnel feeding requirements. The contract was awarded without set-aside designations, indicating competition based on the contractor's demonstrated capabilities, pricing, and track record. As the primary deliverable, UGRAs are shelf-stable meal kits engineered to meet rigorous government specifications for nutritional content, caloric density, and shelf life, typically ranging from 10 to 12 months, and are available in multiple configurations including perishable and semi-perishable formats to accommodate varying operational and storage requirements.

Ameriqual Group LLC brings substantial expertise to this engagement, having established itself as a critical provider of specialized meal products to federal agencies through multiple significant contract vehicles. The company's qualification for this IDC reflects its proven capability to consistently deliver complex food products meeting strict military specifications and quality standards. This single-award contract represents one of six comparable $4.9 million IDCs that Ameriqual maintains with DLA Troop Support Subsistence, alongside additional substantial vehicle agreements including a $315 million IDC with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for disaster relief meal procurement. The contract structure as an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle allows the government flexibility to issue task orders against the $4.9 million ceiling based on operational requirements while providing Ameriqual predictable demand for its specialized manufacturing and distribution capabilities in the military meal solutions market.
