About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence is conducting market research through this Request for Information (RFI) regarding full-line food and beverage distribution support for military and federally funded customers in the Central Florida, Ecuador, Honduras, and surrounding regions. The procurement seeks vendors capable of providing subsistence products including canned items, dry goods, chilled items, ultra-high temperature dairy, frozen bakery products, frozen meats and seafood, poultry, ice cream, eggs, and other dairy products to support garrison-type feeding operations. This RFI is not a formal solicitation, and no payment will be provided for information submitted in response. The Government intends to use responses for informational purposes only to guide future solicitation development. The deadline for submitting information in response to this RFI is February 15, 2026, providing potential vendors approximately three weeks from the posting date to submit their comments and capabilities.
No set-aside designation has been applied to this market research initiative. The RFI does not identify current incumbents or provide specific award values or budget ranges, as this is preliminary market research rather than a formal solicitation phase. Participation in this RFI does not guarantee future business opportunities, though it may inform the development of subsequent Subsistence Prime Vendor (SPV) contracts. The Government is seeking general market feedback and vendor capabilities to understand the landscape of potential suppliers for CONUS SPV regions. While specific contract values are not disclosed at this stage, interested vendors should review current DLA Troop Support CONUS SPV contract information available at the Defense Logistics Agency website to understand the scope and structure of anticipated procurements.

Following are specific questions to consider:
- Can you support full line foodservice items for all of the customers listed above? Many of the customers expect delivery 48 hours after placing their orders. Are there any location limitations in meeting this delivery schedule?
- Do you have preferred delivery set-ups (routes, grouping of customers) to provide complete food support throughout Central Florida and Surrounding areas?
- Some of our customers are remotely located and require smaller pack-size items. Can this requirement be provided? Can you provide service to them, regardless of weather conditions? What method of shipping would be used?
- Would there be customers who could not be supported if an emergency order is needed (either same day or next day)?
- Please confirm if your facility is capable and willing to complete a long-term 5-year contract.
We encourage, appreciate, and would like to thank you in advance for any comments. Your responses, suggestions and ideas regarding these future solicitations are requested back by the close of business on Friday July 11th, 2025.
