    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the United States Property and Fiscal Officer for New York (USPFO-NY), intends to award a sole source contract to Valley Foods, Inc. for the procurement of raw subsistence items necessary for the training of soldiers at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania. This procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-5(a)(2)(i), which allows for acquisitions from a specified source when other providers cannot meet military food service regulations. The raw subsistence is critical for ensuring that units without food service capabilities can adequately prepare meals for their personnel during training exercises. Interested parties may submit their capability statements to Johanna Goman at johanna.a.goman.civ@army.mil within 7 calendar days of this notice, although the government retains discretion over whether to conduct a competitive procurement. For further inquiries, interested vendors can also contact Ashley Pace at ashley.a.pace4.civ@army.mil.

    Limited Competition Justification 42nd ID Raw Sub Redacted.pdf
    The document serves as a justification review for a contract with the National Guard Bureau, specifically for the procurement of raw subsistence items needed for the 42nd Infantry Division's training at Fort Indiantown Gap. The estimated costs are not specified in the document but are categorized under the authority of 41 USC 1901, allowing for the solicitation from a single source based on the inability of other providers to meet specific military regulations regarding food service. The program manager, SSG Jonathan Rosado Feliciano, supports the claim that only one supplier can meet the unique requirements, as other units without food service capabilities must source their supplies from Valley Foods. Previous procurement actions indicate a continuity in this contract without securing additional competition due to the organizational restrictions. The document concludes with certifications of accuracy and fairness in cost assessments by the contracting officer, Ashley Pace. Overall, this review justifies the exclusive sourcing of subsistence supplies for military training, targeting compliance with necessary regulations and ensuring operational effectiveness.
