San Antonio JA Bridge Redaction DM.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a bridge contract issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Subsistence Supply Chain. The contract (SPE300-25-D-3009) will be awarded to Labatt Institutional Supply Company DBA "Labatt Food Service" for full line food distribution services in the San Antonio, Texas region. The bridge contract will cover a period of 378 days, from May 18, 2025, through May 30, 2026, with a maximum dollar value of $99,840,443.00.

The justification emphasizes the critical need to maintain continuous food service supplies for DLA customers without interruption. The proposed bridge contract allows time to complete the follow-on competitive procurement process while ensuring uninterrupted food distribution. The document notes that awarding to any other supplier would cause unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements and potentially create a break in prime vendor support. The contract is being awarded on a sole-source basis under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), with the intention of completing a full and open competition for future contract awards.
