Description

This is a Sources Sought Notice. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Philadelphia Operational Rations Program Office is interested in your feedback regarding the Pouch Bacon (150 slices per package). The components are utilized in the UGR-M and UGR-Heat and Serve programs.

DLA Troop Support Philadelphia continually evaluates the current industrial base, acquisition approaches, supply chain management alternatives and industry interest in this program. Of particular interest is a supplier’s ability to meet increased quantity and/or accelerated delivery requirements, in support of Department of Defense contingencies and/or emergency peacetime requirements.
