EQUIPMENT IST - FTRD

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support awarded a contract to CITISCO, LLC for the procurement and installation of commercial kitchen equipment at Kings Bay, Georgia, under solicitation SPE3SE-26-Q-0010, with an award date of July 30, 2026, and a total contract value of $863,484. The acquisition was conducted under simplified acquisition procedures using a Request for Quotations and justified as other than full and open competition due to the necessity of specific brand-name items, particularly the Blodgett INVOQ 62BE/102BE combi oven, which is designated as brand name only with no alternatives permitted. Additional items, including convection ovens, hot food well units, heat lamps, coffee brewers, milk dispensers, refrigerators, freezers, and kettles, are specified as brand name or equal, requiring vendors to submit technical data packages to demonstrate equivalency in performance, quality, and features. The scope of work includes not only the delivery of certified equipment—meeting NSF, UL, cULus, ENERGY STAR®, and ADA standards—but also installation, removal of existing units, and integration of electrical, water, and utility infrastructure into a functional foodservice environment compliant with commercial foodservice codes. All deliveries and installations are to occur at Kings Bay, Georgia, with final acceptance contingent upon verification of operational compliance and adherence to manufacturer specifications. The contracting officer, Timothy Coyle, retains authority over award decisions and technical evaluations, while Adam Pollini serves as the primary point of contact; however, neither a Contracting Officer’s Representative nor a Contracting Officer Technical Representative is formally identified. The procurement does not specify payment methods, invoicing systems, packaging requirements, or shipping terms, and no detailed evaluation factors, weights, or basis of award (e.g., LPTA or best value) were outlined in the documentation. The contract relies on established regulatory frameworks under FAR 13.501 and DFARS provisions, and while socioeconomic status, size certifications, and offeror representations are not disclosed, the acquisition remains grounded in commercial item authority and a determination that the requested specifications ensure fair and reasonable pricing and mission-critical functionality.
