Following are specific questions to consider:

1. Can you support full line foodservice items for all of the customers listed above? Many of the customers expect delivery 48 hours after placing their orders. Are there any location limitations in meeting this delivery schedule?
2. Do you have preferred delivery set-ups (routes, grouping of customers) to provide complete food support throughout the Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Southern New York area?
3. Some of our customers are remotely located and require smaller pack-size items. Can this requirement be provided? Can you provide service to them, regardless of weather conditions? What method of shipping would be used?
4. Would there be customers who could not be supported if an emergency order is needed (either same day or next day)?
5. Please confirm if your facility is capable and willing to complete a long-term 5-year contract. 

We encourage, appreciate, and would like to thank you in advance for any comments. Your responses, suggestions and ideas regarding these future solicitations are requested back by the close of business on Friday May 17, 2024. Please respond via e-mail to the following addresses: Kyle Vinson kyle.vinson@dla.mil; Vance S. Corey at vance.corey@dla.mil; and Joseph Hauser at Joseph.hauser@dla.mil
