About this opportunity
The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a short-term blanket purchase agreement (BPA) HQC00625A0007 with Coastal Pacific Food Distributors (CPFD) to supply fresh fruits and vegetables (FF&V) to South Korea commissary locations. The 90-day procurement includes a 30-day base period from 24 May 2025 through 23 June 2025, with two additional 30-day option periods, and has a total estimated order value of $1,777,885.00. The sole-source justification stems from a prior General Accounting Office (GAO) protest regarding a previous FF&V contract, with DeCA requiring an uninterrupted supply chain while implementing corrective actions and soliciting a new competitive contract. The agency determined that no other vendor currently possesses the established infrastructure and logistical capabilities to provide FF&V within the required timeframe, citing previous supply disruptions that necessitated costly international sourcing and airlift of products from the contiguous United States. The justification emphasizes that establishing a new supply chain typically requires at least six weeks and involves complex vendor coordination, online catalog development, and base access acquisition.
