Rocky Step Farm LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Scott Depot, West Virginia, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order by the United States Penitentiary Atlanta on January 2, 2026, to supply food service items for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 (January through March). This total small business set-aside contract has a ceiling value of $69,125.40 and requires delivery of certified diet and food items, including dairy products such as kosher skim milk, cottage cheese, and sour cream, along with eggs, fresh produce, and other subsistence supplies. The contract is funded by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Justice responsible for managing the federal prison system. Pricing was evaluated on fair and reasonableness, with consideration given to the contractor's past performance.

This award represents a continuation of Rocky Step Farm LLC's established relationship with federal correctional facilities across the southeastern United States. The vendor's SAM registration is valid through April 16, 2026, meeting the mandatory registration requirement, and deliveries will be coordinated between Rocky Step Farm LLC and the facility's Food Service Administrator. The contract structure reflects the Federal Bureau of Prisons' standard practice of awarding quarterly food supply contracts as firm fixed-price purchase orders to small businesses, ensuring reliable nutritional support for the incarcerated population at the Atlanta facility.
