SPE30025R0042 - 0003

1. IAW FAR 15.101(d): Mission needs and requirements. General information on an agency’s current or anticipated needs and requirements may be disclosed at any time. When information about a proposed acquisition is disclosed to one or more potential offerors and that information is necessary for the preparation of proposals, the information should be made available to the public as soon as practicable, but no later than the next general release of information, in order to avoid creating an unfair competitive advantage.

The following questions were received in response to the request for proposals for SPE300-25-R-0042, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable support for DoW Troops, Non-DoW USDA Schools and Non-DoW Indian Tribal Organizations (ITO). The information contained therein is being released for all interested parties. See below for questions and answers.

The responses to these questions are provided for clarification purposes only and do not change portions of the solicitation requirements. In the event of any discrepancy between the answers provided in this amendment and the solicitation documents, the solicitation documents will take precedence.

Q. Will DLA consider a regional supplier’s actual commercial invoice when they are combined with an executed agreement establishing the offerors binding acquisition price?

A. Invoices submitted must reflect the price paid by the offeror. As stated on page 67 of the solicitation: “Offerors are to submit proposed prices in accordance with the definitions of the separate price components identified in Section VII, TS16-29 Economic Price Adjustment (“EPA”) – Actual Material Costs for Subsistence Fresh Fruits & Vegetables (“FF&V”) And Shell Eggs Model (JUL 2025). The Delivered Prices proposed must reflect those prices that were paid by the offeror for the various items during the Sunday, July 12, 2026 through Saturday, August 15, 2026 timeframe.”

Q. If not, please identify the specific solicitation provision, regulation, or DLA policy that prohibits consideration of that evidence and explain what material pricing risk would remain unverified.

A. Please see Page 67-71 for price proposal submission requirements. Please also see page 13-18, TS16-29 Economic Price Adjustment (“EPA”) – Actual Material Costs for Subsistence Fresh Fruits & Vegetables (“FF&V”) And Shell Eggs Model (JUL 2025), for further information and definitions of the Delivered Price.

Q. When Offeror has not previously purchased a Market Basket item, may a quotation addressed directly to the Offeror from a manufacturer, grower, or private-label holder be considered under the solicitation’s quotation exception?

A. Yes, it may be considered. Please see page 68, paragraph D.2., generally. That paragraph states, in part: “The preferred documentation is the manufacturer, grower, or private label holder invoice. If a particular line item was not stocked during that time period, a written quote from a manufacturer, grower or private label holder may be accepted. However, please note that anything other than an invoice, such as quotes, are the exception to the rule and may not be satisfactory to the Contracting Officer in substantiating an offeror’s Delivered Price.”

Q. If quotations are submitted for multiple Market Basket items, will each quotation be evaluated individually on its merits, or does DLA apply a numerical or percentage limitation?

A. Please see page 68, paragraph D.2, generally. That paragraph states, in part: “The Government requires offerors to substantiate all of its proposed Delivered Prices with an invoice/quote from the manufacturer, grower, private label holder, or redistributor (collectively referred to as “Supplier”) along with the corresponding freight invoice.”

Substantiating documents for Delivered Prices are evaluated per item.

Q. If DLA requires offeror-specific historical invoices for a minimum number or percentage of Market Basket items, please identify the solicitation provision establishing that threshold.

A. The solicitation submission requirements do not require offeror-specific historical invoices for a minimum number or percentage of market basket items, however, please see page 68, paragraph D.2., stating in part: “The preferred documentation is the manufacturer, grower, or private label holder invoice.” Substantiating documents submitted for Delivered Prices are evaluated per item. The solicitation requires the offeror to be a “current and functioning commercial distributor of FF&V items.” By offering, the offeror affirms this status.

2. The Solicitation closing date has been extended to Thursday, September 3, 2026, at 3:00PM Eastern Time.

3. All other Terms and Conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged.
