JA FFV South Korea CA Approved Redact.pdf

This is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition document (Control No. HQC006-26-15) submitted by the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), Pacific Contracting Office, Kadena Commissary, Japan.

The document justifies a contract modification to extend the period of performance for a Blanket Purchase Agreement with Coastal Pacific Food Distributors (CPFD) for the supply of fresh fruits and vegetables to South Korea commissary locations. The supplies are required from August 23, 2026 through February 24, 2027, with an estimated contract value of $5,925,390. Products must meet Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (FF&V) Class 1 standards per International Standards for Fruit and Vegetables (ISFV) as set by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and locally grown South Korean products must meet OECD Class 2 standards. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 1901 under the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) 12.201-1 and Department of Defense Deviation 2026-O0028 as the authority for the non-competitive award. The stated rationale is that CPFD is the only source with established infrastructure and logistical capabilities to provide uninterrupted FF&V supply during the interim period while a follow-on competitive requirement is pending award and transition. Weekly supplies are essential for military service members and families stationed in South Korea. The document lists four interested sources for the follow-on award: Coastal Pacific Food Distributors Inc. (California), Giant Inc. (South Korea), JTG Corporation Pte. Ltd. (Singapore), and Samsung Welstory Global Inc. (South Korea). The justification was certified by Derek McNamara (Commissary Management Specialist) on July 24, 2026, approved by Contracting Officer Roxan Boado on August 3, 2026, and finally approved by Competition Advocate Donna DiRoma on August 5, 2026.
