JA Georgia Bridge 3 Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document filed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Subsistence Supply Chain for a bridge contract with Reinhart Foodservice LLC to provide Prime Vendor (SPV) support for food and beverage supplies to DLA customers in Georgia and surrounding areas.

The bridge contract, SPE300-26-D-3015, will run from May 24, 2026, through February 20, 2027 (273 days), with a guaranteed minimum value of $7,510,833.39 and maximum total value of $150,216,667.87. This contract covers an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) fixed-price acquisition with Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) terms and serves as a transition period to allow the follow-on competitive procurement to reach full operational capability. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as statutory authority, determining that only Reinhart Foodservice LLC can meet DLA requirements in the required timeframe due to the complex logistics involved in managing hundreds of foodservice items across sourcing, receiving, storage, transportation, and security clearances. The contracting officer determined anticipated costs are fair and reasonable, and the follow-on solicitation was issued on a full and open competition basis with all future acquisitions anticipated to be competed. The justification was approved by William J. Kenny, Executive Director of DLA Troop Support Contracting and Acquisition Management.
