JA Mid-Atlantic Bridge 3 Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Subsistence Supply Chain prime vendor contract in the Mid-Atlantic Zone. The proposed bridge contract (SPE300-26-D-3002) is an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) fixed-price contract with Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) for US Foods Manassas, covering food service supplies for DLA customers in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Delaware, Maryland, and surrounding areas. The guaranteed minimum dollar value is $815,152.15, with a maximum total dollar value of $19,487,231.04, and the contract will run from October 12, 2025, through a subsequent competitive follow-on procurement.

The justification emphasizes the necessity of awarding this bridge contract to maintain continuous prime vendor support, as changing suppliers would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements. The contract involves complex logistics for hundreds of food service items, including sourcing, receiving, storage, transportation, and security clearances. The solicitation for the follow-on acquisition is anticipated to be competed on a full and open competition basis, with the current contract set to expire, ensuring minimal disruption to DLA's food service supply chain.
