About this opportunity
The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) issued an amendment to its previously posted Justification and Approval (J&A) for sole-source procurement of brand-name commercial products for resale from C&S Wholesale Grocers, LLC / SpartanNash Company, with a ten-day hold period beginning September 14, 2026. This notice does not constitute a new solicitation, reopen competition, or request proposals; it updates the public record with the amended, redacted J&A originally posted March 27, 2026 (Reference HQC002-26-08).
DeCA intends to award a single-award IDIQ contract for full-line distribution services across 215 commissary locations spanning multiple geographic regions, including domestic installations (Florida, Texas, Ohio Valley, Nebraska, Langley, Belvoir, Carolina, Georgia, Meade, Hanscom) and overseas areas (United Kingdom, Bavaria, Mediterranean). The contract structure includes a five-year base period, five one-year option periods, and up to five one-year earned incentive periods for a potential 15-year total duration.
The J&A justifies sole-source award under 10 U.S.C. § 2484(f) and FAR 6.103-5, asserting that C&S alone possesses pre-existing multi-temperature warehouses meeting force protection standards and a specialized transportation fleet required to meet performance timelines without unacceptable schedule delays and cost duplication. Market research identified six interested sources but found none capable of meeting requirements without these disadvantages. The Fort Lee, Virginia contracting office approved the procurement. DeCA may proceed with contract execution no earlier than ten days after posting absent material information submitted by September 24, 2026.
