About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence is seeking information from full-line food and beverage distributors within the United States to support its Subsistence Prime Vendor (SPV) contract for the Norfolk, Virginia land area. The agency expects to begin issuing solicitations for SPV contracts covering various regions within the contiguous United States. The key requirements include providing full-line food and beverage item distribution support for garrison-type feeding to military, federally funded, and other authorized customers in the region. The evaluation criteria will likely include low price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures, use of tiered pricing periods, and evaluation of weighted distribution prices. Responses to this Request for Information are due by June 5, 2024.

This acquisition is not set-aside for any specific business category. The current SPV contractors supporting the region are not named. While the agency did not provide specific award value or budget ranges, it did list the various military, federal, and authorized customers that the successful contractor will be required to support. The agency is also interested in the respondents' ability to meet the customers' 48-hour delivery requirements and provide service to remotely located customers.

For this acquisition DLA Troop Support anticipates using the following evaluation technique:

1.Use of Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures, with all evaluation factors and significant subfactors that will affect contract award, clearly stated in the solicitation.

2. Use of tiered pricing periods instead of structuring contracts with a base period and option period(s).

3. Evaluation of weighted distribution prices when evaluating competing proposal prices.

4. For this acquisition pricing will be Contract Unit Price = Delivered Price – rebates/discounts (government, including NAPA, or other) + Distribution Price

Following are specific questions to consider:

1. Can you support any or all 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?

2. Do you have preferred delivery set-ups (routes, grouping of customers) to provide complete food support throughout the state?

3. 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?

4. Would there be customers who could not be supported if an emergency order is needed (either same day or next day)?

5. Please confirm if your firm is capable and willing to complete a long-term 5-year contract. 

We encourage and appreciate your participation; please share your ideas regarding these issues.  Your written comments, suggestions, and ideas regarding support for our customers will be treated as confidential and for Government use only. Please provide your responses via mail or email, by June 5, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. EST to the following mailing address or email address:  Paula Williams at paula.williams@dla.mil or Sheilla M. Esposito at sheilla.m.esposito@dla.mil
