Attachment 1 - Ohio Market Basket.xlsx

This file is a market basket attachment for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence regarding fresh fruits and vegetable support for Department of War (DoW) Troop and USDA School customers in the Ohio Zone. The market basket is divided into two groups: Group 1 covers Ohio Troops with 37 produce line items and their 24-month usage quantities, and Group 2 covers Ohio Schools with 50 produce line items and corresponding 24-month usage quantities. Group 1 items include fresh produce such as apples, bananas, blueberries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, and watermelon, with usage quantities ranging from 14 to 891 units over 24 months. Group 2 items encompass both fresh and chilled produce in various packaging formats (bagged, clamshell, pre-cut), with significantly higher usage volumes ranging from 536 to 151,176 units over 24 months, reflecting the larger scale of school food service operations compared to troop support.

This market basket serves as the foundation for the RFI market research process, which is designed to gather information and feedback from potential vendors regarding the Agency's ability to support the full line of produce requirements for both customer groups. Responses to the RFI and accompanying Market Research Survey are due by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on October 30, 2026. Interested parties should submit responses to James.Barr@dla.mil and Marcus.Berenato@dla.mil. The Government will not pay for information submitted in response to this RFI, and this request does not constitute a commitment to award a contract. The RFI is intended solely to conduct market research to inform the development of a future solicitation.
