About this file

This document contains an amendment to a solicitation for an indefinite quantity contract to act as a prime vendor supplying food and related products to military customers in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Djibouti, and Kenya. The amendment provides updated attachments with corrections to item descriptions and demand estimates. It also addresses additional questions received, clarifying that pricing should reflect actual monthly volumes for storage, rework and other premium categories. Pricing is only required for materials, not freight, for packing categories. Estimated warehouse capacity and pipeline pallet space requirements remain the same. Offerors are advised to confirm supplier approval for CENTCOM and VETCOM. The solicitation seeks to award contracts to a single vendor each for Zone 1 (Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain) and Zone 2 (United Arab Emirates, Oman, Djibouti, Kenya) to supply an estimated total value over five years of $336 million and $432 million respectively.

Section II: Additional Vendor questions that have come in post the pre-proposal question period.

1. Storage Charges - Categories 79 through 86: Is the price to be given as a monthly rate? If so, are the storage requirements in terms of pallet spaces meant to be a monthly or yearly requirement and the monthly requirement can be calculated by dividing the yearly requirement by 12. This changes some of the major assumptions that we used to calculate storage requirements for operational supplies.

DLA Troop Support Response: Invoicing for all premium categories must be submitted on a monthly basis and reflect the amount of actual service provided. Distribution prices for categories 79 through 86 are to be provided per the UOM; i.e., pallet spaces or cases for what was actually stored during the month. The estimated quantity demanded for GFM storage is identified for 12 months and this figure may be divided by 12 to calculate the estimated monthly demand.

SPM300‐11‐R‐0005 Amendment 0011 Page 4 of 4

2. Rework Charges – Categories 87 through 91: Is the price to be given to be a monthly rate or for each case any time it is re-worked?

DLA Troop Support Response: Distribution prices are to be provided by the case for categories 87, 88, 89, 91 and by the pound for category 90. Invoicing for premium categories will be done on a monthly basis for actual work performed.

3. Pallets and Ice for Airlifts – categories 92 through 97: are we to price only the cost of materials or also the cost of air freight as well? For instance the price for category 95 would include air freight, and cost of packing materials, and ice??? Or just the cost of packing materials. Air freight and ice are not to be included

DLA Troop Support Response: See page 83. Distribution prices for categories 92 through 97 are to be provided only for the cost of materials. Invoicing for premium categories will be done on a monthly basis for actual work performed.

4. As a result of Amendment 0009 and the resultant change in quantities for products listed in the updated Attachments 1-4, there has been a noted, significant decrease in demand quantities of products.

a. The resultant changes appear to result in a change in throughput, which in turn, may have impact to the requirement for storage capacity and transportation/material handling assets.

This could possibly impact the way we negotiate with our subcontractors on price for storage.

DLA Troop Support Response: The warehouse capacity requirements that are listed in amendment 0002 remain accurate and the corrected pipeline pallet spaces listed in amendment 0007 also remain accurate.

5. Because we don’t have the information, we run the risk of procuring, or having procured, quotes from suppliers that are not CENTCOM approved. For the voluminous quotes obtained to meet the requirements of this Solicitation, without that list, we do not know if those quotes will be accepted or rejected. Additionally, by submitting, we are presenting that our products meet the appropriate listing standards, when in fact, they may not because we have no access the Government’s current information, which presumably, is used to determine CENTCOM approved sources and qualification of products and sources.

DLA Troop Support Response: As previously stated, this information cannot be released to potential offerors. The Agency will not delete this requirement. It is recommended that all potential offerors inquire when obtaining quotes from suppliers as to whether they are VETCOM/CENTCOM approved. Additionally, the awardee will be able to ask DLA Troop Support to request approval of sources after award.
