Rainmaker, Inc., a woman-owned small business and economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business (EDWOSB) headquartered in Oakland Park, Florida, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $61,470.92 by the Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood, operating under the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons. This Total Small Business set-aside contract, designated as SUBSISTENCE 3RD QTR FY26, requires delivery of comprehensive food service products and supplies to support the institution's food operations during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. The award encompasses 111 line items including prepared meals in kosher and halal variants, individual food components, dry goods, condiments, canned and frozen products, bulk meats, and dairy items, with all deliveries scheduled between April 1 and 17, 2026.

The procurement reflects the Bureau of Prisons' substantial reliance on qualified small business contractors to meet the complex nutritional and dietary requirements of federal inmate populations. Rainmaker, Inc. has established a robust track record supplying food service products to numerous federal correctional facilities nationwide, consistently meeting stringent requirements including strict compliance with National Menu Specifications, temperature-controlled transportation for perishables, palletized shipments, and adherence to federal food safety standards. The contractor's selection was based on a best-value determination that weighted price and past performance approximately equally, with the award ultimately contingent on achieving a "Go" rating on past performance criteria including timeliness of deliveries and order accuracy and completeness.
