Description

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support (DLA TS) will be issuing a solicitation to seek offerors for the management of DLA owned Flameless Ration Heaters (FRH) for the Meal Ready to Eat (MRE). These FRHs are classified as Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) and would consist of a quantity not to exceed 3.9 million units or 4.5 truckloads. The FRH for MRE is a water activated exothermic-chemical heater packaged in a plastic heating bag which functions as a container with an NSN of 8970-N0-000-0617.



In addition to the management of VMI of FRHs for MREs, DLA TS is also seeking offerors for the production and management of Flat Packs for the Unitized Group Ration E (UGR-E) as DLA Owned VMI. The flat pack for UGR-E is a foil tray with a heater and pull tab. The estimated quantity of flat packs DLA is seeking to purchase is 160k flat packs under NSN of 8970-01-724-3263.



Both requirements (FHR and Flat Pack) would include storing the items for the contract period of five years.



The Government intends to make one award which shall consist of both the FHR and Flat Pack requirements. The contract shall be for a term of 60 months,



The Government contemplates award of an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity firm-fixed price commercial contract with the add on transportation support if required by Contracting Officer. This is for the manufacturing, storing, rotating, distributing, maintaining and managing the buffer stock level of FRHs for MRE and new flat pack for UGR-Es for a period of five (5) years. This is known as Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) of Government Owned Equipment.



The estimated dollar value of this solicitation is $2,575,217.80. The maximum dollar value will be $6,240,000.00 inclusive of all surge requirements. The guaranteed minimum for the entire contract will be ten percent (10%) of the estimated dollar value, which equates to $257,521.78. The Government’s legal obligation under this contract shall only be for that guaranteed minimum and shall be satisfied once purchases for that amount have been made.



The contract period will be for five (5) years or $6,240,000.00, whichever comes first.





Copies of the solicitation will be available during the solicitation period at Sam.gov.
