About this file
This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) for food service supplies issued by the Federal Bureau of Prisons at FMC Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas.
The solicitation seeks bids for a comprehensive range of food products for the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, with delivery required between January 4, 2027, and January 22, 2027. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price award on an F.O.B. Destination basis. Thirty-five line items are specified, including dry beans (black, kidney, navy, and pinto), canned vegetables (green beans, carrots, corn, mixed vegetables, peas, and spinach), grains and flour, spices (basil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and red pepper), sauces, frozen meats (ground beef, beef patties, chicken breasts, chicken thighs, chicken leg quarters, fish fillets, Italian sausage, and pork roast), and specialty items such as corn bread mix and gelatin. Quantities range significantly across items, from 120 pounds of basil to 20,000 pounds of rice. All products must comply with specific quality standards including USDA grades, domestic sourcing requirements, and expiration dates extending at least six months beyond delivery. The offer due date is November 25, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Central Time. This is a 100 percent Total Small Business Set-Aside with a size standard of 500 employees. Offerors must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide pricing with a maximum of four decimal places. The Government reserves the right to evaluate awards based on three equally important factors: lowest price, past performance, and technical conformance to specifications. Funds are noted as not presently available, with the Government's obligation contingent upon appropriated funds availability.
