    The document is a list of dairy products, primarily various types of milk and sour cream, identified by stock number, item description, unit of measurement (UOM), and package size. The items include low-fat, reduced-fat, and non-fat milk, as well as chocolate milk, in half-pint and 14-ounce containers, and sour cream in 5-pound containers. The consistency of the UOM and package size across similar items suggests a standardized procurement list, likely for a government entity such as a school, military, or institutional food service program, outlining specific dairy products required for purchase or tender.
    The document outlines delivery points and instructions for various facilities associated with the Montana Air National Guard and Malmstrom Air Force Base. Key locations include the Montana Air National Guard, the Central Distribution Center at Malmstrom AFB, and the Elkhorn DFAC also at Malmstrom AFB. Each entry provides a customer name, facility, building number, street address, city, state (MT), ZIP code, country (US), and service affiliation (AF). Delivery instructions specify particular days, such as "Before Guard Drills" for the Montana Air National Guard, "Wednesday" for the Central Distribution Center, and "Tuesday or Friday" or "Tuesday thru Friday" for the Elkhorn Dining facility. This document appears to be a logistical guide for deliveries to federal military installations in Montana, likely part of an RFP or contract outlining service expectations.
    The Government is conducting market research for long-term contracts for Fresh Milk and Dairy Products to supply DoD Troop customers in Montana Zones. They are seeking interested vendors to answer six questions covering their interest in bidding, ability to service all customers, minimum delivery requirements, manufacturing capabilities, past government business, and registrations (SAM.GOV, PACA License, DIBBS). The contract estimates range from $22,734.66 for a 12-month period to $284,183.25 for a 5-year maximum. The market research also solicits feedback on zone layout feasibility, potential subcontracting needs, methods to encourage vendor participation, and strategies to meet Small Business goals. Vendors are asked to identify any other barriers to doing business with DLA Troop Support. Responses are due by January 12, 2026, at 8:00 PM EST to Nicole Blake and Jennifer DeLange.
