Attachment 1 - List of Items.xlsx

This is a List of Items attachment that specifies the fresh fruits and vegetables required under a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Request for Information for supply to Department of War (DoW) Troop customers, Non-DoW School customers, and Indian Tribal Organization customers in the Dallas, Texas zone. The list is organized into four separate item schedules with 24-month estimated quantities for each product category.

The Troop Item List contains 142 line items encompassing fresh produce such as beans, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, greens, lettuce, mushrooms, peppers, plantains, strawberries, apples, bananas, berries, melons, onions, oranges, pears, potatoes, squash, tomatoes, cabbage, avocados, kiwifruit, spinach, herbs (basil, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, thyme), asparagus, and specialty items like eggplant, fennel, jicama, and tofu. The School Item List contains 109 line items with similar produce categories but different packaging formats and sizes tailored for school foodservice operations. The Indian Tribal Organization Item List contains 23 line items representing a subset of commonly used fresh produce items. All items must meet USDA Grade Number 1 or better quality standards as specified in the individual item descriptions, which include details on count, weight, packaging format (cases, bags, cartons), and estimated consumption over a 24-month period. Failure to meet the specified quality requirements per item as identified in this attachment may render an offeror's proposal technically unacceptable in any resulting solicitation.
