The Federal Bureau of Prisons awarded a Purchase Order valued at $131,849.78 to East Baking Company, Inc., a minority-owned bakery and food products manufacturer based in Holyoke, Massachusetts, for subsistence food items to support the Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 (October 1 – December 31, 2025). This Total Small Business set-aside contract was awarded on October 1, 2025, and requires delivery of various food products including bread, bakery items, and specialized religious diet provisions to meet the nutritional needs of the correctional facility's inmate population. The procurement was issued under firm fixed-price terms with FOB Destination pricing, and perishable items such as bread and milk are to be delivered on a weekly basis throughout the contract period.

East Baking Company brings substantial experience in federal food procurement to this award, having established itself as a reliable supplier to the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. The company currently holds multiple indefinite delivery vehicle contracts, including a $774,087 single-award IDV with the Federal Correctional Complex Terre Haute and significant multiple-award IDVs with USDA valued at over $540 million combined for cereal and bread products. This contract award demonstrates the company's continued participation in federal correctional facility feeding programs and reflects its track record of successfully meeting stringent government procurement requirements for food commodities across multiple institutions nationwide.
