About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence is conducting market research for MRE Spreads Components as part of the Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) program through their Philadelphia Operational Rations Program Office. The procurement encompasses various spread components including cheeses (plain, jalapeno, bacon varieties), peanut butter (plain, chocolate, chunky), jellies (apple, grape), jams (blackberry, strawberry), fat-free mayonnaise, and barbecue sauce. These items are classified as mobilization essential and critical to warfighter missions, requiring suppliers capable of meeting increased quantity demands and accelerated delivery schedules for Department of Defense contingencies and emergency peacetime requirements. The agency seeks vendors with surge capacity and sustained production capabilities, emphasizing the need for suppliers who can deliver products with a mandatory 3-year shelf life. Interested companies must submit responses via email to darren.gregory@dla.mil by October 24, 2025, providing company details, business size information, contact information, previous experience with similar products, and specific interest in spread component categories.
This pre-solicitation notice does not utilize any set-aside designations and represents a market research effort rather than a formal solicitation for proposals. The document does not identify current incumbents or contractors, nor does it specify potential award values or budget ranges for future procurement activities. No specific quantities or production volumes are mentioned in the sources sought notice, though the emphasis on surge capacity and sustained production suggests substantial volume requirements may be anticipated. The timeline focuses on the immediate response deadline of October 24, 2025, for market research submissions, with no indication of when formal solicitations might be issued. Vendor participation in this market research phase does not guarantee future business opportunities or contract awards.
