About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Directorate is seeking a contractor to supply and directly deliver Bag-In-Box beverage bases to Navy ships and military installations in CONUS, Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam. The solicitation (SPE300-25-R-0046) targets a comprehensive beverage product range including carbonated, non-carbonated, electrolyte, and juice drinks. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, potential contractors in the Soft Drink Manufacturing sector (NAICS 312111) should prepare for a competitive procurement process. The solicitation was posted on April 15, 2025, with responses due by April 25, 2025, indicating a relatively short window for potential bidders to prepare their submissions. Vendors should carefully review the full solicitation documentation when it becomes available to understand the complete technical and compliance requirements.
The contract has no specific set-aside designations, suggesting it is open to all qualified vendors. The procurement is structured for a maximum duration of 15 months or until the $7 million contract value is reached, whichever occurs first. This represents a significant opportunity for manufacturers and distributors of beverage bases to secure a military supply contract. The geographic scope of delivery is extensive, covering multiple U.S. territories and naval installations, which will require robust logistics capabilities. The Product Service Code (PSC 8960) for Nonalcoholic Beverages further clarifies the specific product category being sought. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate their capacity for large-scale, direct delivery of beverage products to diverse military locations with potentially complex supply chain requirements.
