Ready-to-Eat Meal (MRE-Style) Manufacturing

The contract involves the large-scale manufacturing of shelf-stable, military-specification Tailored Operational Training Meals (TOTM) designated under NSN 8970-01-628-7262, which are MRE-style meals intended for military training operations. The production must meet exacting defense standards for nutrition, durability, shelf life, and operational suitability in harsh environments, ensuring troops receive balanced, ready-to-eat meals that sustain performance during extended field exercises. The work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 311999, indicating it falls under other food manufacturing, and is managed by the Defense Logistics Agency on behalf of the Department of Defense. The contract was posted on June 25, 2026, and is linked to a specific award and delivery identifier, signaling it is an active procurement action within the DLA’s supply chain for operational rations. While no specific location for performance or point of contact is listed, the scope implies nationwide or multi-site production capabilities are required to fulfill volume demands, with strict adherence to military quality control, packaging, labeling, and logistics protocols. The absence of set-aside information suggests competition is open to general industry participants with the capacity to meet federal specifications for tactical food systems.
