About this file

This is a product specifications document for a federal contract opportunity seeking quotes for meat, frozen, and premade food items for the Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont for the 2nd quarter of FY 2025.

The document details requirements for 17 different food items across multiple categories: premade items (tortillas, chips, French toast, hummus, biscuits, taco shells), frozen vegetables (French fries), meats (beef patties, ground beef, beef roast, pork roast, Italian sausage), fish (breaded cod fillets), and soy products (tofu, soy protein products). Specific requirements include strict product specifications, such as 80% lean beef patties with no additives or fillers, precise sizing requirements (e.g., 8" diameter tortillas), and detailed IMPS codes for meat products. The document emphasizes that products must meet National Menu Specifications, with no substitutions accepted. While some items must be products of the United States or Canada (like French fries), others can be foreign-made if distributed in the US. Quantities range from 3,000 to 140,000 units depending on the item.
