- Description
- The Government will issue a Draft Solicitation, SPM300-11-R-0044, which potential offerors are to review and then provide feedback / questions to the Government regarding the requirements. Post Draft Solicitation issuance, DLA Troop Support intends to release a formal solicitation for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Economic Price Adjustments with a full line food distributor acting as a Prime Vendor responsible for the supply and delivery of semi-perishable and perishable items to a total of approximately 205 delivery locations (based on current troop strengths) in Afghanistan. The prime vendor must be capable of supplying all dry, chilled, and frozen products to include canned / boxed grocery products, frozen fish, meat and poultry, other frozen foods (fruits, vegetables, prepared foods, etc.), dairy and ice cream products, fresh and frozen bakery products, beverages, water, and juices (non-dispensers), fresh fruits and vegetables, and non-food items such as Food Service Operation Supplies (FSOS). In addition, the prime vendor must also be capable of storing and distributing Government Furnished Material (GFM) such as Unitized Group Rations (UGRs), Meals Ready to Eat (MREs), Health and Comfort Packs (HCPs), and Containers holding construction materials, to the military and other authorized customers within Afghanistan. The estimated dollar value for this contract is $2,000,000,000 annually, totaling $10,000,000,000 across the entire 66 month contract. The contract will be broken down into three (3) Tiered Pricing Periods. The first tier shall be for a 30 month period (inclusive of a 6-month ramp-up period followed by a 24-month performance period). The second tier shall be for the following 18-month performance period. The third and final tier shall be for another 18-month performance period. The prime vendor must have the ability to make deliveries by means of ground, fixed wing, and rotary wing transportation, depending upon the location of the customer, while also independently arranging for Private Security services, where necessary. There will be attachments to the solicitation, which can be requested by potential offerors. These attachments will provide current Government estimates as to which delivery points currently require Private Security. This can be used as a reference; however, offerors will be required to propose the mode of transportation they see fit for each respective delivery point, and whether Private Security services will be required for that delivery point. The prime vendor must also independently arrange for the transportation of product from the Southern Caucuses / Central and Southern Asian (SC / CASA) states into the country of Afghanistan, as no Government Contracted rates are currently available. The prime vendor will also be required to utilize Afghanistan Nationals for contract employment, and partner with Afghanistan-based and SC / CASA-based companies as part of their performance on this contract. All responsible sources may submit questions / comments / recommendations to the Government which shall be considered by DLA Troop Support. Anticipated Issuance Date of the Draft Solicitation is 24 February 2011 with a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) date to be determined. The Draft Copy, as well as the formal RFP (after issuance date) may be found on the DLA-BSM Internet Bid Board System at http:www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil or the Federal Business Opportunities sidebar. Then choose the RFP you wish to view. You must be registered in order to download RFPs. If you are not, you will be directed to register at time of download.
