PB&J Squeezers

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Directorate is seeking to procure peanut butter and jelly squeezers for use in military ration programs, specifically the Unitized Group Ration - H&S and UGR-M programs. The solicitation will be issued as Request for Proposal SPE3S1-26-R-0001 on an unrestricted basis with full and open competition and will include a HUB Zone price evaluation preference for eligible vendors. The procurement covers two contract line items: peanut butter and grape jelly twin packs and peanut butter and strawberry jam twin packs. The government will select the winning proposal using lowest price technically acceptable source selection methodology, meaning contractors must meet minimum technical standards with pricing being the primary deciding factor. The Pre-Solicitation Notice was posted on February 3, 2026, with a response deadline of February 18, 2026, and interested vendors are advised to contact the contracting officer immediately to obtain additional details and express their interest.

This procurement is structured as a 3-year tiered Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with firm fixed-price terms and no set-aside designation, meaning all responsible parties are eligible to compete regardless of business size or classification. No incumbent contractor is named in the notice, and no specific award value or quantity requirements are disclosed in the Pre-Solicitation Notice. Product demonstration models are mandatory for participation, and all proposals must include samples meeting the government's specifications for the two ration pack variants. Delivery is FOB Destination to Depot Tracy, California, with inspection occurring at the contractor's origin facility and acceptance occurring upon delivery to the government destination. The tiered structure of the indefinite delivery contract suggests the government anticipates variable ordering volumes over the three-year performance period based on military ration program requirements.
