About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI · Feb 5, 2025

The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential businesses capable of providing bulk delivery services to 170 commissary locations across the contiguous United States. The RFI seeks businesses with North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 484220, specializing in local specialized freight trucking. Interested companies must demonstrate the ability to provide comprehensive delivery services for the entire network of commissary locations, without the option of segregating or partially servicing the contract. Respondents are required to submit detailed information including business name, contact details, capability statement, SAM.gov Cage Code, and potential subcontracting percentages. The response deadline is February 10, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, with submissions to be sent via email to the Contracting Officer Rakeeb I. Craig Sr. and Contract Specialist Hawanda Steadman.

This RFI does not include a specific set-aside designation and is open to both small and large businesses. The draft Statement of Work indicates complex service requirements, including interfacing with DeCA's eCommerce platform, maintaining 98% system availability, and providing temperature-controlled delivery within 2-hour windows for dry, chill, and frozen grocery products. Delivery services must cover a 30-mile radius from each commissary location, with strict performance metrics including delivery confirmation within 24 hours and monetary credits for late or missed deliveries. While no specific award value is mentioned, the comprehensive nature of the contract covering 170 locations suggests a significant potential contract scope. The RFI emphasizes that this is a market research exercise, and no contract will be awarded directly from this request, positioning it as a preliminary step in a future competitive procurement process.
