Ice and Paper Items for South Korea

[Local Contractors Only] Pursuant to the U.S.-ROK Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) and applicable United States Forces Korea Instructions (USFKI), local contractors will be utilized to fulfill this requirement.  This procurement is restricted to commercial supplies originating in and intended for ultimate use within the Republic of Korea (ROK).

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Indo-Pacific (TS IP) intends to issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) for ice and paper items to support U.S. military customers located throughout ROK.

DLA TS IP plans to establish a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for the supply and delivery of these items.  To be eligible for award, vendors must source ICE ONLY from a U.S. Army VET approved source—specifically Iceolly Co., Ltd. (KS 0181)--as listed on the official directory: https://sph.health.mil/approved.nsf/fst_wContent_PHC?OpenFrameSet.

This acquisition will utilize full and open competition and will be issued on an unrestricted basis. Quotes submitted in response to the RFQ will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, and a BPA will be awarded based on this criterion.  Quoters must submit quotes for all line items.  Evaluation will be conducted on an “All or None” basis, and partial quotes will be rejected.

This procurement is using the procedures of 41 U.S.C. 1901, as implemented by Class Deviation 2026-O0028 – Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul Part 12, Defense FAR Supplement (DFAR) Part 212 and Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 12.201-1, Simplified procedures, for acquisition described at 12.001 (c).
