About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for Flameless Ration Heaters (FRH) and UGR-E heater modules to support military food service operations. The agency seeks contractors capable of managing government-owned inventory of approximately 3.9 million FRHs and producing 160,000 new flat pack heater modules for lunch and dinner menu configurations. The RFI targets Food Service Contractors under NAICS code 722310, with a focus on inventory management, shelf life preservation, and rotation strategies. Potential contractors will be evaluated based on their ability to handle storage, distribution, and production requirements for these critical military meal support components. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on January 15, 2025, with responses due by January 30, 2025, and interested parties are expected to provide company details, cage codes, and contact information.
The opportunity is not designated with a specific set-aside, indicating open competition among qualified vendors. While no incumbent contractors are explicitly named, the contract appears to be structured as a firm-fixed price purchase order under FAR part 13.5, covering two primary product lines: vendor management of existing FRH inventory and manufacturing/management of UGR-E heater modules. The contract scope suggests a potential five-year service period with the capability to manage approximately 4.5 truckloads of buffer stock inventory. Numerical specifications include production requirements of 160,000 flat pack units and management of 3.9 million existing FRHs. Interested vendors should be prepared to demonstrate capabilities in inventory management, manufacturing precision, and logistics support for military food service supply chains.
