About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command is conducting market research to identify potential suppliers of freeze-dried meals for Space Base Delta 1 at Peterson Space Force Base. The Sources Sought notice seeks information from vendors in the Dried and Dehydrated Food Manufacturing sector (NAICS 311423) with a small business size standard of 750 employees. The government requires 40 individual meal units, each containing a protein and either a starch or vegetable component, available in at least three different flavors and weighing between 160g and 240g. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to deliver meals that can withstand temperatures from 32F to 140F and provide detailed information about delivery capabilities, product specifications, bulk pricing discounts, and warranty terms. Key deadlines include February 11, 2025 for questions and February 20, 2025 at 12:00 PM Mountain Time for vendor responses, with the desired delivery date set for June 1, 2025.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this procurement, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. While no incumbent contractors are mentioned, the market research aims to gather comprehensive information about potential suppliers' capabilities. The government has not disclosed a specific award value or budget range for the 40 meal units. Responses must be submitted via email to Contract Specialist SrA Cristina Dobhriste and Contracting Officer TSgt Kyle Richmond, with vendors required to provide comprehensive details about their products and delivery capabilities. The notice explicitly states that this is a market research effort and does not constitute a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract, allowing the government to assess potential sources for future procurement actions.
