About this opportunity
The Defense Commissary Agency seeks quotations for unbleached kraft paper grocery bags to supply 30 commissary locations across the West and Central United States, with quotations due October 23, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST and questions due October 15, 2026. The procurement is a total small business set-aside.
Place of performance spans 15 Central Stores in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas, plus 5 West Stores in New Mexico and Texas. The required product is a 1/6 barrel kraft paper grocery bag measuring 12 inches face width by 7 inches length, heavy-duty, self-opening, single-wall construction using a minimum 40% post-consumer or recovered fiber. Bags must meet specified paper strength standards: Tear M.D. of 120 grams, Tear C.D. of 140 grams, Tensile M.D. of 50 LB.IN, and Mullen of 45 LB, tested to TAPPI standards or equivalent. Bags shall be bundled at 400 per bundle with 18 bundles per pallet. Delivery must occur within 30 days of receiving a delivery order during business hours of 7:00 am to 3:00 pm Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays, to the receiving area or back loading dock. The vendor is responsible for obtaining necessary installation access procedures, including costs associated with security programs such as RAPIDGate or REAL ID compliance.

Total commitment is 28,500 bundles for Central Stores and 3,000 bundles for West Stores if all option years are exercised. The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract with EPA adjustment based on best value. Evaluation weighs technical capability, price, and past performance in meeting delivery schedules equally. Anticipated award date is January 1, 2027. NAICS code is 322220; PSC is 8135.
