About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency-Troop Support is seeking a Subsistence Prime Vendor to provide comprehensive food distribution services throughout the Republic of Korea. This Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract with Economic Price Adjustment will require a full-line food distributor to supply and deliver a complete range of food items including chilled products, semi-perishable and perishable foods, frozen products (meat, poultry, fish, bakery items, fruits, vegetables), dairy, ice cream, fresh produce, beverages, and non-food Food Service Operating Supply items. The Prime Vendor must also handle Government Furnished Materials such as Unitized Group Rations, Meals Ready to Eat, Health and Comfort packs, and other operational rations. The contractor will serve all authorized DLA customers in Korea, including military facilities, ships, mobile kitchen tents, ration break points, trailer-transfer points, and training exercise locations, with the potential for additional customers to be added during the contract term. The solicitation is expected to be issued in September or October 2025, with a response deadline of October 15, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting competition to qualifying small businesses. While no current incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the pre-solicitation notice, the scope encompasses supporting all military and federally funded customers throughout the entire Republic of Korea. The contract structure as an IDIQ suggests variable ordering quantities and delivery schedules based on customer demands. No specific contract duration is provided in the notice, though the reference to items "to be introduced during the term of this contract" indicates a multi-year performance period. The contractor must demonstrate capabilities across multiple product categories and maintain distribution networks capable of reaching diverse military installations and operational sites throughout Korea.
