JA Seattle WA Land - final - redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for a bridge contract to provide full foodservice prime vendor support in the Seattle Land Region. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence Supply Chain is awarding contract SPE300-25-D-3002 to Sysco Seattle, Inc. as a sole-source bridge contract to provide uninterrupted food supplies to DLA customers in the Seattle, WA area and surrounding regions.

The bridge contract will be an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) fixed price with Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) arrangement, awarded to provide coverage between the current contract SPE300-20-D-3260 (awarded February 18, 2020) and the follow-on competitive procurement. The current contract had a 24-month Tier 1 period, 18-month Tier 2 period, and is in its Tier 3 period. The bridge is justified under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as Sysco Seattle is deemed the only source capable of providing the required foodservice supplies without unacceptable delays. A notice will be published on SAM.gov and the justification will be made available for public inspection after award in accordance with FAR 6.305(a).
