Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a full line food distributor acting as a Prime Vendor responsible for the supply and delivery of semi-perishable and perishable items.

The Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP) intends to enter into an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a full line food distributor acting as a Prime Vendor responsible for the supply and delivery of semi-perishable and perishable items. The prime vendor must be capable of supplying all chilled products, semi perishable food stuffs, frozen fish, meat and poultry, other frozen foods (fruits, vegetables, prepared foods, etc.), dairy and ice cream products, fresh and frozen bakery products, beverage base & juices (for dispensers), beverages & juices (non-dispenser), fresh fruits and vegetables, non-food items and Government Furnished Material (GFM) such as Unitized Group Rations (UGRs,) Meals Ready to Eat (MREs,) Health and Comfort packs (HCPs) and other operational rations items (either currently in existence or to be introduced during the term of this award) to the military and other federally funded customers within Kuwait, Iraq, and Jordan.

Two zones are required to support all of the military customers located in Kuwait, Iraq, and Jordan; i.e., military shore and/or ship facilities, mobile kitchen tent facilities (MKTs), ration break points, trailer-transfer points, and military training exercise locations: Zone I Kuwait and Northern, Central, and Southern portions of Iraq to be supported via delivery routes originating from Kuwait and Turkey. The estimated dollar value for Zone 1 is $1,308,737,022.57 annually. Zone II Jordan and West-Central portion of Iraq, primarily but not limited to the Anbar Province to be supported via delivery routes originating from Jordan. The estimated dollar value for Zone II is $264,041,437.40 annually. The contract (s) shall be for a term of twenty-four months and will include two available twenty-four month option periods. All responsible sources may submit proposals, which will be considered by the agency. The estimated dollar value of this solicitation is $1,572,778,459.97 annually for both zones. The combined estimated dollar value for the six year period for both zones is $9,436,670,760.



Significant changes have occurred since the draft (SPM300-08-R-0009) release on 01/23/08. This solicitation replaces the draft. The major changes include the use of Manufacturer Pricing Agreements, pricing language and rebate/discount language. Potential Offerors are strongly encouraged to carefully review these new features.



All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency.
