ARMY PLANS TO PURCHASE ,
Cont. from page 6
Sccondily, individual comriisary offi
cers at each military installation
purchasing for resale only to certain
milita’r-y personnel and their dopen
'd ohts a$d civilians enployed by the
services who. reside on military re
servations5. ^uch purchases amount
to about half as much as those for
troop 'issue, and are handled on a
different' basis from products bid on
through the Alaska General Depot.
2. A fair pricing policy is followed
in that a differential is used to
take care of additional costs borne
by ^J-aska growers. In other words, in
awarding contracts the relatively
higher expanses of .Aaskan farmers
otfor'those in the States are taken
into consideration.
3. Due to the' importance of guarding
the health of servicemen, inspectors
pannot make exceptions to the rigid
sanitary requirements of government
contracts. Alaska growers have
proved that they_can moot such re
quirements. Other reasonable excep
tions to requirements, such as size,
which arc difficult to meet due to
unusual conditions here, can be made
and’arc made, officials nave stated.
Following the annual preliminary con
ferences when fresh vegetable re
quirements are explained, invitations
for bids -ill be sent to all known
sources in the ..nchorage and Fair
banks. areas, and the bids will be
opened later publicly at ^rmy head
quarters.
It' 'is planned that producers agaih
will be able to subnit bids by item
and by military station, with the
invitations to be broken down in
such manner as to make this possiblo.
One. producer thus night seek bnly to
furnish the potatoes for Ladd .dr
'Force Base and could make such a
bid.
Bids will further be broken down for
'potato bids to cover separate quant
ities, for throe periods. Such will
be Septembcr-October-November,1950;
Becembar 1950-January-February 1951;
and March-i.pril-May 1951.
•Buying will be done through one
central agency for ..ir Force and
Army -military personnel at Fort
Richards on,..pmy arctic Training
Center (Big Delta) , Fort of V/hittior,
Adak and the Ladd, Sielson and Marks'
Air Force bases. This system pre
vents the services from bidding a
gainst each other on the op^n market
and is considerod an important ste^
toward unification.
