About this file
This is a Local Delivery Requirements attachment for a Bureau of Prisons (BOP) food service contract. The document establishes operational standards for food product deliveries to a BOP facility in the Seattle area.
Contractors must deliver all orders Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., excluding Federal Holidays, with no appointments required. All orders operate on a Fill-or-Kill basis; undelivered items within the specified period must be canceled, and items cannot be accepted after the final delivery date without prior written approval from the Contracting Office citing excusable delays under FAR 52.212-4(f). Failure to meet delivery schedules or conform to specifications negatively impacts past performance ratings used in future award decisions. All deliveries must be palletized unless alternative arrangements are documented in writing with warehouse staff. Drivers are required to assist in unloading by pushing pallets to the edge for warehouse material handlers to remove via forklift. Contractors bear responsibility for ensuring shipping companies and truck drivers understand receiving hours and delivery requirements. The Food Service Warehouse contact number is (206)870-5749.
All items must comply strictly with BOP Menu Specifications, with non-compliant items refused. Certified religious diet items must display the Kosher Symbol on individual packages. Temperature requirements are: non-frozen perishable foods 34-40°F, canned goods above 34°F (not frozen), and frozen foods at 0°F or below; products showing prior thawing are refused. All items undergo close inspection with conditional receipt permitted for three days to allow testing and thawing/cooking to verify specification compliance. Unacceptable items must be picked up by vendors at their expense within two weeks of noncompliance notification; items not retrieved within two weeks are disposed of by warehouse staff. Invoicing must be submitted as a single invoice for all delivered and accepted items to SET-BusinessOffice-S@bop.gov. All payments are made by electronic funds transfer, and Purchase Card cannot be used for purchases above the $15,000 micro-purchase threshold. Small business vendors must self-certify their small business status for the assigned NAICS code on all invoices. Partial payments are not authorized.

LOCAL DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS
Delivery Schedule
Delivery Hours: Monday through Friday (excluding Federal Holidays), 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
No appointments required.
Contractors must make their best effort to ship complete. All orders are Fill-or-Kill; if not delivered with the specified delivery period, cancel any and all undelivered items.

Contractor failure to meet delivery schedules without an excusable delay and/or failure to conform to contract specifications will negatively affect the contractor’s history of past performance. Past performance information may be used by the Government to make future award decisions.
