Quick Summary

The Ohio Army National Guard (OHARNG) intends to solicit a Prime Vendor Subsistence Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract (W91364-26-Q-A012) to supply and distribute various grocery and boxed meals to locations throughout Ohio. This is a Presolicitation notice for a Total Small Business Set-Aside opportunity, with a maximum value of $8,000,000.00.

Scope of Work

The selected Prime Vendor will be responsible for the acquisition, storage, assembly, and delivery of subsistence items to approximately one hundred OHARNG units and ten thousand Soldiers across Ohio. This includes maintaining an electronic master product catalog, with special attention to nutritionally complete meal kits and brand-name items. Deliveries are typically weekly, Monday through Friday (with potential for Saturday), requiring a seven-day lead time, though emergency orders may have shorter notice. The vendor must assume all warehouse storage and delivery responsibilities, ensuring strict temperature control and sanitation standards for vehicles.
