Full Description
Introduction
This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source and a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for a commercial service, prepared in accordance with the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), including the deviated FAR Part 5 posting requirements and FAR 12.6 as revised.
This notice constitutes the only solicitation; no quotes are being requested, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.
Description
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) intends to issue a sole-source award to Sysco Montana, Inc., 1509 Monad Road, Billings, MT 59101, to provide food supply services for six detention centers within District V, covering Montana and Wyoming.
This action ensures the steady delivery of essential meals and food products to the following locations:
Montana: Blackfeet Detention, Fort Belknap Detention, Rocky Mountain Regional Detention, Northern Cheyenne Juvenile Detention, and Fort Peck Juvenile HUB.
Wyoming: Wind River Detention.
Sysco is considered the only responsible source capable of meeting the Government's requirement. Market research confirmed that no other vendor currently maintains the logistics capacity, cold-chain capability, and multi-site delivery routes required to support all six remote District V facilities. Sysco Montana's ability to meet these requirements is based on established infrastructure and facility-specific delivery experience.
The anticipated contract period of performance will be a base year plus four optional years, spanning from December 2026 through December 2031 (subject to availability of funds and continued agency need).
