not be compromised.

product to arrive at the delivery location the same day for emergency orders if necessary.

4. Commercial standards should be used to maintain temperatures appropriate for the individual items. Bakery

products shall include mold inhibitors of the proper level as allowed by the FDA. When proposing in response to a

solicitation, failure to propose the specified quality requirement per item as identified above may render an

offeror’s proposal technically unacceptable. This will consist of DoD/Troop customers in the Middle Atlantic Zone. After

soliciting, the Agency intends to make one award. Offerors are required to propose on all items in the Schedule of

Items on which it offers. 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, when proposing to the solicitation 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. The period of performance for the resultant contract is from April 13, 2025, to April 8, 2028. All responsible sources must submit proposals that will be considered by DLA Troop
