Introduction:
This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Indo-Pacific in accordance with FAR Part 10 – Market Research. The Government is conducting market research to identify responsible and capable sources interested in supplying a full line of Coca-Cola Beverage Products to Department of Defense (DoD) and authorized Non-DoD customers located on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii.
