About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence is seeking a full-line food distributor to serve as a Subsistence Prime Vendor (SPV) for military and federally funded customers located throughout Puerto Rico. The contractor will supply a comprehensive range of food products, including chilled, semi-perishable, frozen items (fish, meat, poultry, and bakery products), dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, and beverages through a Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) provisions. Key requirements include maintaining 60 days of stock, supporting potential surge demand of up to 150% of normal requirements, complying with strict food safety and quality standards, and delivering products through electronic ordering via EDI within specified delivery windows of 6:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Atlantic Standard Time. Proposals must be submitted through either the DLA Internet Bid Boards System (DIBBS) or the DoD Safe electronic platform no later than January 12, 2026, at 3:00 P.M. Philadelphia time, with evaluation based on the contractor's ability to meet all technical and pricing requirements outlined in the solicitation attachments.
This is an unrestricted full and open competition with no set-aside designations, though the solicitation notes a potential Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) set-aside consideration. There is no incumbent vendor identified, as this represents a new requirement for DLA Troop Support. The contract is estimated at $32 million with a maximum value of $48 million over the initial 12-month term, with DLA anticipating award during the first quarter of 2026 and requiring a two-month contract implementation phase. The Prime Vendor must be capable of supporting multiple customer points across Puerto Rico, including visiting U.S. Navy ships, military shore and ship facilities, mobile kitchen tents, ration break points, and military training exercise locations. The place of performance is listed as 11554 Ivy Bush Court, Reston, Virginia 20191, though the actual service delivery will occur throughout Puerto Rico as specified in the Statement of Work.
