MN ARNG State Bulk Food

The Minnesota Army National Guard, through the United States Property and Fiscal Office at Camp Ripley, is soliciting quotations for bulk food supplies and related non-food items under a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) on an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) basis. The procurement covers approximately 150 frequently used bulk food items and 12 non-food items (such as food service supplies and kitchen equipment) to support the Minnesota National Guard's operations statewide. Key requirements include maintaining a warehouse in Minnesota, providing an online ordering system with video tutorials, fulfilling standard orders for delivery on Thursdays or Fridays between 0830 and 1500, and accommodating rush orders within 48 hours. The contractor must ensure all food complies with TB MED 530 standards, maintain proper temperatures for different product types, and deliver quantities within 90 percent of ordered amounts with readable open code dates. Evaluation will be based on price, technical approach (including ordering system functionality and rush delivery capability), and past performance, with the government awarding the contract to the responsible offeror offering the lowest overall price. The proposal deadline is March 30, 2026, at 10:00 AM CST, with an anticipated award date of April 15, 2026, and questions regarding the solicitation must have been submitted by February 26, 2026.

No small business set-aside applies to this procurement, and no incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents. The contract will operate on a Firm Fixed Price basis with a 7% markup applicable to ordering periods one through four, though no specific budget ceiling or award value range is disclosed in the solicitation. Historical data from the previous contract period indicates approximately 608 individual deliveries and 41,033 items ordered annually, though these figures are not guaranteed for future performance. The base contract period runs from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, with four optional one-year ordering periods extending through March 31, 2031, and monthly task orders will be issued for estimated bulk food requirements. Delivery must be made to 112 locations across Minnesota, including 46 separate delivery points at Camp Ripley Training Center in Little Falls and the remainder distributed throughout the Twin Cities Metro area and across the state, with all delivery charges included in the pricing and FOB set at the destination.
