This is a Request for Information / Sources Sought. No Quotes are requested at this time.

The Missouri National Guard is only seeking the capabilities of interested vendors for market research. Interested vendors are invited to provide a brief capability statement, their CAGE Code, points of contact, and, if available, any previous government contracts for subsistence.

The Missouri National Guard (MONG) is contemplating a Subsistence Prime Vendor Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), a multiple award Blanket Purchase Agreement, or a Basic Ordering Agreement while conducting market research to support its acquisition strategy.

The purpose of this contracted requirement is to supply and distribute various subsistence items and boxed meals requested by the MONG and selected from the MONG 21-Day Menu. Estimated annual spending is $250,000.

Interested Vendors shall have the capability to supply the following broad categories of items:

1. Chilled Products
2. Frozen Fish, Meat, Poultry
3. Semi-perishable Food Items include canned foods, condiments, sauces, spices, seasonings, fats, oils, confectionery, nuts, sugars, etc.
4. Frozen Foods, e.g., fruits, vegetables, prepared foods other than fish, meat, and Poultry
5. Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
6. Cereals (hot and cold)
7. Eggs
8. Dairy and Ice Cream Products
9. Beverages and Juices
10. Bakery Products
11. Prepared food box Lunches

In addition to being able to provide these items, interested vendors must also demonstrate the capability to deliver to multiple locations across the state of Missouri. Delivery locations will include Jefferson City, Poplar Bluff, Whiteman Airforce Base, Warrensburg, Festus, Pierce City, Neosho, Nevada, Excello, and Wappapello. The frequency of these deliveries will vary depending on the needs of the MONG, ranging from monthly deliveries to multiple deliveries in a month. Vendors shall have the logistical capacity to meet this delivery schedule in order to support the needs of the Missouri National Guard.

All billing will be completed via electronic invoicing through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF).

Due to FAR 9.104-2, any interested vendor shall be inspected in accordance with agency sanitation standards and procedures. Thus, the Missouri National Guard will not award any contract to a vendor that does not own or operate its own subsistence distribution business.
