Attachment 2 Request for New Item.pdf

This document is a Request for New Produce Items form used by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The form requires detailed information about new produce items for procurement, with fields marked with asterisks indicating mandatory completion. Key required fields include the requesting activity name, contract number, CONUS/OCONUS request type, troop support or school lunch program designation, item description, form/preparation type, refrigeration requirements, USDA grade, vendor unit of measure, packaging details, and estimated monthly usage.

The form provides a comprehensive template for vendors to submit new produce item proposals, emphasizing the importance of the vendor's unit of measure as critical for pricing. Additional sections capture cost information (per case and total), packaging characteristics (bulk or individually wrapped), item freshness status, and case weight. A note at the bottom instructs the requester to provide a copy of the request to their DLA Catalog Account Manager to expedite stockage of the desired items.
