These seafood markets are determined to be commercial item requirements and will be subject to the wage rates established by the Department of Labor for each location. Estimated sales volume is based on the incumbent's merchandising and marketing methods. Vendors should use their business judgement in estimating what the volume of sales will be based on their method of doing business and knowledge of the available market in the area. DeCA provides the facility, display and work area equipment, utilities and operational supplies to be used in the commissary. The contractor is required to provide bulk fresh and frozen unprocessed fish (US Food Code Grade A quality) and water foods (raw shrimp, lobster, shucked oysters, clams) on ice; labor to staff each site (normal operating hours to be consistent with the commissary operating hours, normally 9-10 hours, 6 to 7 days per week, each location differs); product at "best customer prices," if not, at a discounted price from the local commercial area; adequate management and corporate structure to manage and operate the in-store seafood market in an autonomous mode which requires only slight Government oversight. Some locations include lobster tanks and/or steamers. Product and work effort is subject to US Food Code standards. DeCA invites all interested vendors to submit comments concerning the DeCA in-store resale seafood markets by November 24, 1997.
