SPE300-26-R-0001 Subsistence Prime Vendor (SPV) Southwest Asia and Eastern Africa (SWAEA)

The solicitation (SPE300‑26‑R‑0001) seeks a single Subsistence Prime Vendor to provide food‑service support for U.S. military and other federally funded customers across two geographic zones: Zone 1 (Bahrain, Qatar, KSA, UAE, Oman, Djibouti, Kenya, Yemen) and Zone 2 (Botswana, Burundi, Comoros, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Rwanda, Seychelles, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe). The contract’s estimated value is $985 million, with a maximum ceiling of $2.955 billion and a guaranteed minimum of $98.5 million (10 % of the estimate). Offerors must submit a comprehensive supply‑chain management plan that ensures a 98 % fill rate and the ability to surge to 300 % of normal demand, includes detailed purchasing, replenishment, and inventory‑level controls, and identifies any actions or information required from the Government for full implementation. Proposals must also address compliance with DoD small‑business subcontracting goals, provide past‑performance data, and clearly differentiate any zone‑specific requirements (e.g., warehouse location and capacity). Key technical and contractual requirements include: pricing on the Market Basket tab must match the manufacturer’s quote with no conversion and be formatted to two decimal places; separate product and distribution price columns, gross case weight, case cube, and cases per pallet must be provided; use of the Government’s 832 electronic catalog item descriptions; adherence to EDI and 864 inventory‑reporting guidelines; 24 × 7 × 365 availability (including holidays) with the ability to adjust duty hours per the Contracting Officer; and responsibility for all life‑support logistics (real‑estate, office/billeting facilities, motor pool, communications). Evaluation will favor offers that present a seamless 180‑day implementation to full operational capability, require minimal Government action, and demonstrate superior supply‑chain performance and concrete distribution‑equipment agreements.
