About this file
This document is a sources sought notice issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service related to providing dog food for the National Stock Number (NSN) Program.
The sources sought notice indicates that GSA is gathering information from interested vendors to potentially establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for dog food under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program. The BPA will have fixed-price contract terms with consideration for economic price adjustments. The notice includes the military working dog (MWD) nutritional requirements, which specify the protein, fat, and carbohydrate ranges for very low, low, medium, high, and very high activity levels. Interested vendors are requested to submit the enclosed "Attachment 1 - Sources Sought Questionnaire" by November 13, 2024 at 11:00 am ET through the eBuy system or sam.gov. The information provided will be used to determine appropriate set-aside categories, such as total small business or socioeconomic set-asides, for the future Request for Quote (RFQ). The RFQ is anticipated to evaluate technical characteristics and past performance.
