Combat rations are consumable, shelf stable products consisting of various food and non food items packaged in an overwrap bag. To fulfil this requirement, Canada has issued one Requests for Proposal (RFP) representing two procurement approaches: •a Prime Vendor approach, under which a single contractor would be responsible for managing all components of the requirement; OR •a Category by Category approach, under which multiple contracts would be awarded by component category, including the designation of a contractor responsible for ration assembly.
