Purchase Order 15B20125P00000045

This federal contract award, valued at $58,127.67, was issued by the Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood, a civilian agency under the Department of Justice (DOJ), to Larc Industries Inc., a woman-owned small business located in Collegeville, Pennsylvania. The contract is for the supply of dairy products, including milk, cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese, to support the facility's nutritional requirements for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. The contract was issued as a purchase order under a firm fixed-price pricing arrangement, with a completion date of March 31, 2025.

The original solicitation was a combined synopsis/solicitation issued by the Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood, seeking quotes for the supply of bread, dairy, and egg products for the same period. The procurement was designated as a 100% small business set-aside, with a size standard of 700 employees. The solicitation required vendors to submit detailed pricing and product information on a National Menu Specification Quote Sheet, and the government would award to the responsible vendor(s) whose offer was most advantageous based on a best value determination.

Larc Industries Inc. is a well-established vendor for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and DOJ Bureau of Prisons, having been awarded multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) and Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) to supply dairy products to VA medical centers and DOJ correctional facilities nationwide. The company's strong track record in meeting the specific nutritional requirements of federal institutions, as well as its designation as a woman-owned small business, likely contributed to its selection for this contract award.
