Statement of Need 2019 Mission Season Subsistence

Subsistence provisions for are needed for the 2019 mission season from May 25 – October 15, 2019. The NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson, NOAA Ship Rainier, and NOAA Ship Fairweather require subsistence provisioning in Kodiak, Dutch Harbor, and Nome, Alaska.

Vendors are to provide on-line ordering systems for order placement. The order account shall be for Chief Steward or Acting Chief Steward which is a rotational position. Order hold tickets shall be emailed to the Contracting Officer prior to order finalization for approval. Payment is anticipated to be made via Contracting Officer’s Government Purchase Card unless otherwise quoted.

Mirroring standard practice for DLA food provision orders, orders will be placed ahead of the intended delivery date for the specific food items for each order. It can be difficult for the steward department to accurately inventory many of the needed mess provisions very far in advance, however the ship will attempt to place orders two weeks in advance to allow sufficient time for the vendor to prepare and deliver the order. Please provide minimum order times with your offer.

Any items delivered shall be of quality meeting or surpassing all FDA requirements and standards for retail food protection.

Inspection and acceptance of products will be performed at the delivery destination. The ship Chief Steward is responsible for signing for and acceptance of products when they are delivered. The final disposition rests with the Chief Steward.

If such change causes an increase or decrease of cost, or time required for, performance of any part of the work under an issued purchase order (PO) the Contracting Officer shall make equitable adjustment in the contract price, the delivery schedule, or both and shall modify the order.
