About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Program has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to conduct market research for fresh fruit and vegetable support services for Department of Defense and non-DoD customers located throughout Montana. The procurement will provide full-line produce support to Montana schools, Indian tribal reservations, and DoD facilities, with delivery required to 263 educational institutions and specialized facilities across the state. The RFI seeks vendor feedback on their capabilities to service all customers in the Montana Zone, including experience with federal contracting, business registration status, and ability to utilize two specific ordering systems: STORES for DoD customers and FFAVORS Web for non-DoD customers. This market research effort is designed to assist the agency in creating an appropriate future solicitation, with no current commitment or compensation provided to respondents. The response deadline was originally July 1, 2025, but appears to have been extended to July 24, 2025, with submissions required via email to designated agency contacts.
This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The estimated contract value is $6,574,802.90 for a 5-year term, with a maximum potential value of $19,724,408.70. The Schedule of Items includes 64 different produce items for schools and 32 items for reservations, totaling an estimated 71,388 cases over a 24-month period. Products encompass various types of apples, lettuce, potatoes, onions, and other fresh produce items measured in case units. The delivery schedule covers 269 distinct locations across Montana, including public schools, private schools, tribal schools, youth correction facilities, and special needs schools. The procurement falls under NAICS code 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing) and PSC code 8915 (Fruits and Vegetables).
