Description

PRIME VENDOR SUBSISTENCE PROGRAM -- Contact Contracting Officer/Specialist CW4 Sharon E. Price at 615-313-2651 (sharon.price@tn.ngb.army.mil) or Supervisory Contracting Officer CPT Sammy K. Beard at 615-313-2650 (sammy.beard@tn.ngb.army.mil). The Tennessee Army National Guard (TNARNG) and the Tennessee Air National Guard (TANG) require a subsistence prime vendor program for the supply and distribution of food items directly to end users within the State of Tennessee as well as nearby out-of-state Annual Training sites. The prime vendor will be required to deliver the rations to both a full-time dining facility at McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base near Knoxville, TN and to the unit armory and base locations throughout the state on the Thursday prior to the monthly unit drill. Each unit will have a different account number and the vendor should be able to provide some statistical information on each account or groups of accounts. Due to the different number of personnel in each unit, the vendor should be able to supply less than case lots when required. In addition to the monthly drills, called Inactive Duty Training (IDT), each unit normally has two weeks of Annual Training (AT) each year. Some units conduct AT in-state, while most units go out-of-state to places such as Fort Stewart, GA, Ft. Knox, KY, or Camp Shelby, MS. The prime vendor should be prepared to support both nearby out-of-state and in-state AT periods. At the present time there are approximately 100 TNARNG armories and 3 TANG bases across the state of Tennessee and approximately 14,600 troops that will be supported by the prime vendor. The IDT requirement for support will be approximately 29,200 meals monthly. The full-time dining facility is associated with a national Air Guard school and will require approximately 12,500 meals per month. The in-state AT support for 2001 is approximately 1,000 personnel for 15 days for a total of 45,000 meals. Approximately 3,870 personnel will perform nearby out-of-state AT, accounting for 174,150 meals. The acquisition will be for a one year base period plus 4 option years. A pre-solicitation conference detailing our requirements will be scheduled at a later date. All interested sources should submit a company brochure or letter outlining their capabilities of performance, major categories of food, and a list of their distributors with the local areas that could service our armories and bases.
