The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is conducting market research for Full Line Fresh Fruit and Vegetables (FF&V) long-term contracts in the West Virginia Zone. This solicitation aims to support both Department of Defense troops and USDA school customers. The estimated 24-month base period value is over $5 million, with a 5-year estimate of nearly $13 million and a maximum value of almost $39 million. Two Excel attachments provide a schedule of items with estimated usage for a 24-month period and a list of proposed delivery points. Interested vendors are asked to respond to a questionnaire by December 31, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, regarding their interest in bidding, capability to service all customers, minimum delivery requirements, commercial FF&V distribution experience, past federal government business, SAM.GOV and DIBBS registration, PACA license, and business size. The DLA also seeks feedback on the zone's layout, potential subcontracting needs, and the vendor's ability to use the STORES (for troops) and FFAVORS (for schools) electronic ordering and invoicing systems. Questions should be directed to Kasey McConnell-Rosinski or Paul Le.
