Full Line Food Distribution for San Diego Navy Ships

An award has been made to US Foods Los Angeles, CAGE code 1TZ63, under a sole-source bridge contract identified as SPE300-26-D-3017, authorizing the continuation of Prime Vendor foodservice support for the San Diego Navy Ships region. The contract, justified under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) and compliant with FAR 6.301(b), was awarded without competition to ensure uninterrupted delivery of full-line subsistence supplies, as no other capable supplier exists that can maintain service continuity without operational disruption. The performance period spans 329 days, beginning June 14, 2026, and ending May 8, 2027, or upon the award of a follow-on competitive contract, whichever occurs first. The contract is structured as an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) with a fixed price and Economic Price Adjustment, carrying a guaranteed minimum order value of $5,565,576.31 and a maximum ceiling of $166,967,289.42, with an estimated total value of $55,655,763.14. Delivery and operational performance are centered in La Mirada, California, with service directed to naval vessels in the San Diego region while explicitly excluding land-based Southern California customers. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is the contracting activity, with Paula Williams serving as the Contracting Officer and Joseph E. Hauser as the Approving Official. The Justification and Approval document for this non-competitive award is publicly available and forms the sole basis for selection, affirming US Foods as the only responsible source. Packaging, preservation, labeling, and inspection requirements are generally tied to “applicable specifications” without specific standards detailed, though barcoding and compliance with FAR and DFARS are implied. No small business set-asides, socioeconomic certifications, or evaluation factors were applicable due to the statutory exception invoked. Payment, invoicing, and accounting details are not specified, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative is named. The contract will terminate upon fulfillment of the guaranteed minimum and the award of a new competitive contract, with no extensions or options permitted.
