Fruits and Vegetables for West Virginia Troops and Schools

The Department of Defense is issuing solicitation SPE300‑25‑R‑0066 as a 100 % small‑business set‑aside (NAICS 311991, size standard 700) for a five‑year, fixed‑price contract that will be awarded using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source‑selection process. The contract is divided into one 24‑month tier and two 18‑month tiers and will require that at least 50 % of the estimated contract value be manufactured by small‑business concerns; the Contracting Officer must be notified immediately if this threshold cannot be met. Offerors must submit a complete price breakdown for every item in the Schedule of Items—delivered price, applicable rebates/discounts, and distribution price—without exception, and proposals lacking any of these components will be deemed technically unacceptable. The awardee must possess an electronic commerce/E‑DI (EC/EDI) capable system, be registered in SAM, and be able to interface with DLA Troops Support’s STORES system, supporting EDI transaction sets 810, 820, 832, 850, 861, and 997. In addition, the contractor must report all supplier financial arrangements and any incentives received, providing per‑customer and per‑order summaries as required. The solicitation also allows the addition of new DoD or non‑DoD customers located adjacent or proximal to the contract’s geographic distribution zone, subject to the Contracting Officer’s judgment. Certain FAR clauses (52.212‑3, 52.204‑24, 52.204‑26) are identified as obsolete under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul and should be disregarded. All offerors must submit their most competitive, fully compliant proposal for Groups 1a and 1b, as the CO is not obligated to negotiate, and must ensure that all catalog items become part of the contractor’s electronic catalog for DLA STORES ordering.
