DLA TROOP SUPPORT INDO-PACIFIC intends to issue a solicitation and ultimately enter into a Simplified Indefinite-Delivery Contract(s) (“SIDC”) with a commercial firm(s) to supply a full-line of Pastry items to DoD and Non-DoD Customers on the island of Oahu. Specific quality requirements per item are included in the Schedule of Items (Attachment 1). Failure to propose the specified quality requirement per item as identified in Attachment 1 may render an offeror’s proposal technically unacceptable. After solicitating, the Agency intends to make one award. A successful offeror(s) will be required to source, purchase, store, and deliver a variety of Pastry Items (Subsistence) to DLA TROOP SUPPORT INDO-PACIFIC customers on an ongoing basis, while at the same time maintaining acceptable fill rates, levels of customer service, and product quality. By offering, an offeror affirms its status as a current and functioning commercial distributor of Pastry items. Subsistence items provided to DLA TROOP SUPPORT INDO-PACFIC customers must follow the Berry Amendment and must be sourced and manufactured from the U.S., from an approved DOD food source. This acquisition is being solicitated under the authority of FAR 13.5, “Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items”. The purpose of this program is to vest Contracting Officers with additional procedural discretion and flexibility, so that commercial item acquisitions greater than the simplified acquisition threshold but not exceeding $7.5 million may be solicited, offered, evaluated, and awarded in a simplified manner that maximized efficiency and economy and minimized burden and administrative costs for both the government and Industry. Offerors are required to propose on all items in the solicitation's Schedule of Items. Failure to do so may result in a proposal being deemed technically unacceptable and therefore excluded from further consideration for award. Because the Contracting Officer is not obligated to initiate negotiations, each offeror shall submit its Most Competitive Proposal. Said proposal shall be responsive to all of the Solicitation’s requirements and free from any deficiencies. Submissions: Please see all attachments. If interested, we strongly encourage submitting all completed documents required (i.e. Signed Copy of SF1449 Cover Letter, Attachment 1 Schedule of Items [w/Prices Filled Out], Attachment 8 Vendor Overview [Filled Out], and All Required Certificates, etc.). We appreciate and thank you in advance for your offer. Your responses regarding this solicitation are requested back by 08:00AM HST on Friday, July 5, 2024.
