Attachment 2 Request for New Item.DOCX

This is a Market Fresh Item Request Form, a template used to submit new product information for cataloging and procurement purposes under the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence contracting vehicle. The form is designed to capture comprehensive product specifications for fresh, frozen, chilled, or shelf-stable food items being considered for supply to military customers in the Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and D.C. zone, including Andrews AFB, Dover AFB, Fort Meade, Fort Myer, and regional hospitals.

The form requires vendors to provide essential product details including contract number, geographic designation (CONUS or OCONUS), item name and description, vendor unit of measure, case weight, individual package specifications, count per package, product form (liquid, powder, etc.), processing method (raw, sliced, fully cooked, breaded, etc.), refrigeration requirements, and storage classification. Additional fields capture nutritional attributes such as fat content, product grade, NAMP number, and for beverages, juice percentage, concentration ratios, sweetness profile, and sweetening agent type. Vendors must also disclose special product features such as lactose-free or reduced-sodium formulations and clarify ambiguous descriptors like "light." Supporting documentation including nutrition specifications and product labels should be attached to facilitate proper cataloging and evaluation.
