The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) has a requirement for miscellaneous commercial operating supplies and paper grocery bags necessary to operate a retail grocery chain. The standardized supplies will be solicited on a full and open (unrestricted) basis under NAICS 322220. Nine distinct awards by geographic area will be made (See Attachment A). Please see the attached **draft** supply list which shows **estimated** annual quantities by item across all commissaries in each geographic area for the year (Attachment B and Attachment C). Item Descriptions may change. Items on Attachment C marked "DB Only," are considered only for use by the Deli-Bakery contractor at each location. These items will be removed from the requirement list as DeCA awards new contracts to Deli-Bakery contractors, as the new awards will require those contractors to source and order/pay for their supplies. The estimated dates of these Deli-Bakery awards will be included in the solicitation, but are, again, estimated. Quarterly Economic Price Adjustments (EPA) may be allowed for commodity and fuel. EPA Items are noted as such on Attachment B. Successful offer will select commodity information from a list of available commodity types.

The anticipated solicitation release date is June 25, 2015 with an anticipated response date and time of July 27, 2015 at 4:00 PM EDST. The resultant Indefinite Delivery/Requirements contracts will be firm fixed price with economic price adjustment contracts whereby individual cardholders at each commissary location will place orders for delivery intermittently (typically every 2-3 weeks). Nine contracts are anticipated with each having a base period of performance of up to 12 months ending on August 31, 2016, with four additional one year option periods for each contract. Contractors must be registered with the System for Acquisition Management (www.SAM.gov) in order to be eligible for a contract award. FAR and DFARS representations and certifications must also be completed online. The solicitation and any amendments will be available at www.fedbizopps.gov under ODA (Other Defense Agencies), Defense Commissary Agency, HDEC05-15-R-0003. Potential offerors must use this web site to obtain a copy of this solicitation. All responsible sources must submit an offer by the solicitation closing date and time to be eligible for award.
