Full Line Food Distribution for Central Texas

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Directorate is planning to award a contract for full line food distribution to support federal agencies in Central Texas, including Fort Hood TISA/Dining Facilities, Goodfellow AFB, and Dyess AFB. The contract involves supplying various subsistence items listed in the 8900 Federal Catalog or their commercial equivalents, with an estimated total value of $34 million. The deliveries are expected to commence approximately 60 days after contract award and will be managed on a "Just in Time" basis to meet customer demands effectively. The contract has a base period of 12 months with two additional 12-month option periods, providing potential for a three-year total performance period. This unrestricted acquisition will be awarded through a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation process. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to interface with the Government’s established translation package and support Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transaction sets as specified in the solicitation. The Request for Proposal will be posted on the DLA-BSM DIBBS website, with issuance expected in about 14 days from the date of the announcement. Interested parties must submit proposals to be considered, with specific contact points identified for contract-related inquiries. The effort is classified under NAICS code 424410, reflecting the full line food distribution service required.
