Many of the customers expect delivery 48 hours after placing their orders. Are there any location limitations in meeting this delivery schedule? Do you have preferred delivery set-ups (routes, grouping of customers) to provide complete food support throughout Missouri and Illinois Regions and Surrounding areas? Some of our customers are remotely located and require smaller pack-size items. Can this requirement be provided? Can you provide service to them, regardless of weather conditions? What method of shipping would be used? Would there be customers who could not be supported if an emergency order is needed (either same day or next day)? 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. Your responses, suggestions and ideas regarding these future solicitations are requested back by the close of business on Friday May 31st, 2024. Please respond via e-mail to the following addresses: Dakota Donnelly Dakota.donnelly@dla.mil;Vance S. Corey at vance.corey@dla.mil; and Joseph Hauser at Joseph.hauser@dla.mil
