Background : DLA Troop Support expects to begin issuing solicitations for Subsistence Prime Vendor (SPV) contracts supporting various regions within the contiguous United States (CONUS). DLA Troop Support’s CONUS SPV contractors are responsible for providing full-line food and beverage item distribution support for garrison type feeding to military, federally funded, and other authorized customers in the regions covered by each contract. 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.

Customers Location Hill Crest Dining Facility Hill Air Force Base Utah Air National Guard Salt Lake City Camp Williams TISA/SSMO Bluffdale Camp Williams DFAC Bluffdale Following are specific questions to consider: Can you support full line foodservice items for all of the customers listed above? 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 the Utah Region? 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.
