Purchase Order 15B12126P00000096

Morabito Baking Co Inc., a veteran-owned, small disadvantaged business headquartered in East Norriton, Pennsylvania, was awarded a $96,000.60 firm fixed-price purchase order by the United States Penitentiary Hazleton on April 1, 2026, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, requires Morabito to supply fresh bread products including 7,500 packages of wheat hot dog buns, 10,000 packages of whole wheat hamburger buns, and 60,000 loaves of kosher whole wheat bread to the Federal Correctional Complex Hazleton Food Service Warehouse in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia through June 30, 2026. All products must meet strict temperature and freshness standards, with deliveries required within 48 hours of baking and maintained at precise temperature controls between 34°F and 40°F.

This award represents the continuation of an extensive and sustained procurement relationship between Morabito Baking and the Bureau of Prisons, which has consistently awarded the company quarterly contracts spanning multiple federal correctional facilities over more than two decades. The solicitation, posted February 20, 2026, was evaluated on pricing (60% weight) and past performance (40% weight) on an unrestricted competitive basis. Morabito's long-standing track record of meeting the operational and nutritional requirements of federal institutions, combined with its established expertise in supplying fresh baked goods to Bureau of Prisons facilities, positioned the company favorably for this recurring quarterly procurement supporting institutional food service operations.
