89--Market Fresh

DLA Troop Support is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry input for a future indefinite quantity contract (IQC) to supply fresh bread and bakery products to military customers in the South Florida Zone, with primary delivery focused on the Krome Processing Center in Miami. The anticipated contract period runs from September 1, 2026, to September 1, 2029, with an estimated maximum value of $2,754,000. Respondents are required to provide detailed input on their ability to supply all items listed in the Market Basket for Group 1 through a single, standardized PDF questionnaire, with no narrative or supplemental documentation allowed. All products must comply with USDA regulations regarding mold inhibitors and adhere to commercial temperature control standards to ensure freshness at delivery, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the point of receipt by military customers. Only completed PDF responses submitted via email to the designated contracting personnel by May 20, 2026, will be considered; submissions in any other format or missing required product data will be disqualified. While this RFI does not constitute a solicitation or commitment, it aims to inform the future issuance of a solicitation that will require full technical compliance, including mandatory integration with the STORES EDI system for ordering, invoicing, and receiving transactions, as well as active registration in SAM.gov and DIBBS. The government intends to make a single award based on the most competitive proposal with no negotiations, prioritizing responsive offers that meet all specified technical and operational conditions with the greatest cost-effectiveness. Proposals must cover all items in the Market Basket for each group offered, and failure to do so will result in non-responsiveness and exclusion from further consideration.
