About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence has awarded a bridge contract to EFS Ebrex Sarl (CAGE SH276) on a sole-source basis to continue providing Prime Vendor services for perishable and semi-perishable commercial food items to authorized military customers in the Western Africa area of responsibility, with an estimated value of $700,000, a guaranteed minimum of $70,000, and a maximum value of $2,100,000.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), asserting EFS is the only responsible source capable of providing uninterrupted service without requiring a transition period. EFS has operated the original competitively awarded contract since September 2020 and the current first bridge contract since September 2025. Market research confirmed no other commercial food distributor currently possesses the fully implemented STORES catalogs, established distribution infrastructure, cleared personnel, and secure warehousing required to meet immediate mission needs. The bridge contract runs 430 days from October 11, 2026, through December 14, 2027, incorporating all terms and conditions of the preceding Prime Vendor contract SPE300-25-D-4005. The bridge period allows time for source selection, pre-award reviews, and the mandatory 180-day contractor ramp-up and implementation period for a competitive follow-on contract anticipated after the bridge expires.
