- Dear Valued Suppliers, This is a Request for Information (�RFI�). DLA Troop Support (�Agency�) Indo-Pacific, Procurement Office-Hawaii is interested in comments and feedback regarding the Agency�s full line of Non-Perishable and Perishable Grocery Items that include Fresh Fruit and Vegetables (FF&V), Bread and Bakery Goods, and Grocery Items to the Department of Defense (�DoD�) & Non-DoD customers on the Islands of Saipan and Tinian. There is no solicitation available at this time. Requests for a solicitation will not receive any response. The Government will not pay for any information received in response to the RFI, nor will the Government compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing the information provided to the government. This RFI does not constitute a commitment from the Government and any information provided in response to this market survey will be used for informational purposes only and will not be released. Any proprietary information submitted will be protected if appropriately marked. Please note that by responding to the Agency�s request, a potential offeror is not promised any future business with the Government. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor SAM.gov for additional information pertaining to this RFI. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future solicitation. The sole purpose of this RFI is to conduct market research to assist the Agency in crafting an appropriate solicitation in the future. Background Information: The Agency intends to issue a solicitation and ultimately enter into a Simplified Indefinite-Delivery Contract(s) (�SIDC�) with a commercial firm(s) to supply a full-line of United States Department of Agriculture (�USDA�) Grade Number 1 or better-quality FF&V, Fresh & Preserved Bakery and Bread products, and Perishable & Non-Perishable Grocery items to DoD and Non-DoD Customers on the Islands of Saipan & Tinian. Specific quality requirements per item are included in the Schedule of Items (Attachment 1). When proposing in response to any future solicitation, failure to propose the specified quality requirement per item as identified in Attachment 1 may render an offeror�s proposal technically unacceptable. If the item�s description in Attachment 1 does not provide a specific quality grade, the minimum quality trade that is required to meet the terms of any future Solicitation is USDA Grade Number 1 or better quality. After solicitating, the Agency intends to make one award Offerors are required to propose on all items in the solicitations Schedule of Items. Failure to do so may result in a proposal being deemed technically unacceptable and therefore excluded from further consideration for award. Because the Contracting Officer is not obligated to initiate negotiations, when proposing to the future solicitation, each offeror shall submit its Most Competitive Proposal. Said proposal shall be responsive to all of the Solicitation�s requirements and free from any deficiencies.� Submissions for RFI: Please see the attachments: 1) Schedule of Items, 2) Delivery Schedule, and 3) Market Research Survey. If interested, we strongly encourage submitting a completed Market Research Survey. We appreciate and thank you in advance for any feedback. Your responses regarding this RFI are requested back by the close of business on Monday, February 19, 2024.
