About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence is soliciting bakery components for Meal Ready-to-Eat assembly under the Rations National Contract, with proposals due July 2, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The procurement is a Total Small Business set-aside under FAR Part 12 for commercial items, limiting competition to firms meeting NAICS size standards of 1,000–1,250 employees depending on the component.
The solicitation covers 13 bakery items including cookies, muffin tops, cakes, bread, snack bread, and tortillas in various flavors. Place of performance includes three MRE assembler locations: AmeriQual Packaging in Evansville, Indiana; SOPAKCO Inc. in Mullins, South Carolina; and Baxters North America in Cincinnati, Ohio. The resulting contract is an indefinite-quantity contract with five consecutive 365-day tier periods, awarded under Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation.
Offerors must submit Product Demonstration Models—106 total units per item (32 to DEVCOM Soldier Center, 4 to DLA, and 70 retained by contractor)—and required documentation including Quality Systems Plan, Food Defense Plan, Integrated Pest Management Plan, and Surge and Sustainment Plan. All products must originate from sanitarily approved sources listed in the Worldwide Directory, comply with 21 CFR 117 and all applicable federal and state regulations, and undergo Government Quality Assurance Representative inspection at origin, typically by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service. Additional mandatory submissions include USDA certification, analytical and microbial test results, nutritional analysis, and compliance certifications regarding per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances. Proposals are submitted via email to Melanie Batdorf (Melanie.ledoux@dla.mil) and Tiendung Nguyen (Tiendung.Nguyen@dla.mil). NAICS codes are 311821, 311812, and 311830; PSC is 8920.
