STATEMENT OF WORK
1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
Independently, and not as an agent of the Government, the Supplier shall furnish all the necessary seafood products, qualified personnel, materials, equipment (display and other), and transportation, not otherwise provided by the Government under the terms of this Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), as needed to perform the work set forth below.
2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Defense Commissary Agency has determined that the use of 'road shows' to market commercially available fresh, refreshed (previously frozen), and frozen seafood product is an effective merchandising method to generate sales.
3. SCOPE OF WORK
The Supplier shall coordinate, schedule, and conduct 'road show' sales events for fresh, refreshed, and frozen seafood products at the various commissaries identified in the schedule. The supplier shall not book more than one road show event per commissary per quarter. At the end of a sales event, the Supplier shall remove all unsold product and Supplier owned materials and equipment from the Government installation on which the sale was conducted.
4. OBJECTIVES
The 'road show' sales shall provide commissary patrons with a variety of fresh, refreshed, and frozen seafood products similar to those available from commercial operations within the local area of the commissary, as set forth in the schedule. This excludes membership clubs, convenience type stores, and mass merchandisers.
6. OWNERSHIP OF PRODUCTS
Ownership of the seafood products shall remain with the Supplier until products are scanned at a Government cash register.
7. REIMBURSEMENT FOR SALE OF PRODUCT
The Supplier shall be paid on sales of seafood captured on the Government scanning system.
8. CORE SEAFOOD PRODUCTS
Core seafood products shall be offered at each road show. Core items are identified as large and medium individually quick frozen shrimp, lobster tails, crab meat, and crab legs.
9. OPTIONAL SEAFOOD PRODUCTS
Optional seafood items may be offered at a road show as long as the products do not compete with products sold in a store's seafood market. The Supplier shall obtain the Store Director's approval on optional seafood products. Optional seafood products are fresh, refreshed, and frozen seafood products other than those identified as 'core items.' (See Paragraph 8 above.)
10. QUALITY ASSURANCE
10.1. The Supplier shall adhere to the requirements of the latest version of the FDA Food Code on sanitation and food safety.
10.2. The Supplier shall offer seafood products provided from approved sources listed in the 'Worldwide Directory of Sanitarily Approved Food Establishment for Armed Forces Procurement' (Website: http://vets.amedd.army.mil/86256F90007C2D1D/VETCOM) or provide proof of other Federal inspections accepted by the U.S. Army Veterinary Command.

10.4. Items that normally have a sell by date will be clearly marked on each package/container.
10.5. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN LABELING. In 2002, Congress incorporated Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) in the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act. One of its many initiatives requires country of origin labeling for beef, lamb, pork, fish, perishable agricultural commodities, and peanuts. Mandatory labeling rules for farm-raised and wild fish have been in effect since April 2005. All seafood specialty departments must comply with the requirements of COOL as they relate to point-of-purchase labeling/identification. The commissary is not required to have a Perishables Agricultural Commodities Act license; therefore, we are exempt from the audit trail requirements, but we comply with the part of the COOL regulation that is visible to the patron, i.e., point-of-purchase labeling, as much as possible. In addition, all contractors and suppliers must maintain all records needed to comply with COOL from delivery to DeCA and back to source.
