About this file
This document is a Special Notice for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) to gather feedback and information from Third-Party Logistics (3PL) firms for the storage, transportation, and distribution of food products for AMS nutrition assistance programs, including the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP).
The RFI seeks information on 3PL distribution models that can support quality, on-time deliveries and exceptional customer service for both dry and temperature-controlled food products. Specific areas of interest include addressing program challenges such as insufficient distribution system resilience, managing inventory on a first expiration, first out basis, and integrating technology for visibility across the supply chain. AMS requests respondents provide recommendations on contract incentives, data requirements, quality assurance/control, customer service, system integration, and contingency planning to strengthen supply chain resilience. Written responses to the RFI are due by November 4, 2024, and a virtual Q&A session is scheduled for October 21, 2024. AMS will use the information gathered to potentially develop a future solicitation for 3PL services.
