DLA Troop Support SPV contractors provide food products such as canned items, dry items, chill items, ultra-high temperature (UHT) dairy items, frozen bakery products, frozen meats, frozen seafood and poultry, ice cream, eggs, and other dairy products under the contracts.

Please confirm if your facility is capable and willing to complete a long-term 5-year contract. We encourage, appreciate, and would like to thank you in advance for any comments.
