Purchase Order 15B10626P00000235

The Federal Bureau of Prisons awarded a $150,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to the Virginia Department of Corrections (operating as Bland Correctional Center) for the supply of milk products to Federal Correctional Complex Butner in North Carolina for the period April 1 through June 30, 2026. The contract, which was not designated as a set-aside, calls for the delivery of commercial skim milk in half-pint clear plastic pouches conforming to federal specification CID A-A-20338A. The Virginia Department of Corrections won the award through a full and open competitive solicitation posted on February 20, 2026, with quotations due March 6, 2026. Deliveries are required twice weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., with strict adherence to temperature control requirements of 34-40 degrees Fahrenheit and compliance with Bureau of Prisons National Menu Specifications.

This quarterly milk supply contract reflects the ongoing relationship between the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Virginia Department of Corrections, which has consistently provided dairy products to federal correctional facilities since at least 2021. The Virginia facility leverages its operational infrastructure and agricultural capabilities to serve as a specialized vendor for the Bureau of Prisons, with individual quarterly contract values historically ranging from approximately $13,000 to $144,000. The award was made by the Federal Correctional Complex Butner, a civilian correctional facility operated under the Department of Justice, with performance required at the vendor's location in Bland, Virginia.
