Purchase Order 15B41426P00000082

Shaver Foods LLC, doing business as Shaver Produce, was awarded a $72,138.10 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners Springfield on January 1, 2026, for the procurement of subsistence meat and kosher food products during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. This total small business set-aside contract represents a continuation of Shaver Foods' established role as a key supplier to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which operates correctional facilities nationwide. The contract specifies delivery to the facility's location in Fayetteville, Arkansas, with a performance period extending through March 31, 2026. Shaver Foods, a small business limited liability company based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, has demonstrated consistent capability in meeting the precise nutritional and religious dietary requirements of federal correctional institutions, including the provision of specialized kosher meal options alongside standard subsistence items.

This procurement aligns with the Bureau of Prisons' broader food service requirements for federal correctional facilities and reflects the agency's reliance on pre-qualified small business vendors capable of delivering food products meeting strict federal standards and specialized dietary specifications. The award continues Shaver Foods' track record of securing quarterly food service contracts across multiple federal correctional institutions, with contract values typically ranging from approximately $10,000 to $327,000. The total small business set-aside designation ensures competition is limited to qualifying small business entities, supporting the federal government's small business contracting objectives while enabling efficient procurement of essential subsistence supplies for incarcerated populations.
