About this file
This is a National Menu Specifications Quote Sheet for MDC Brooklyn's Fiscal Year 2026 procurement, covering the 2nd and 3rd quarters. The document outlines 51 line items across multiple food categories required for a federal food service program, with specifications based on USDA standards, CID (Commercial Item Descriptions), and CFR regulations.
The procurement encompasses a diverse range of food products including canned legumes and vegetables, grains (rice, pasta, cereal), prepared breakfast items, condiments, frozen prepared foods (pizza, French toast, pancakes), and protein sources (ground beef, beef roasts, chicken products, turkey, frankfurters, and cheeses). Key quantities include 20,000 lbs of rice, 3,000 lbs of pasta, 18,000 lbs of ground beef delivered in two shipments, 20,000 lbs of chicken leg quarters, and 130,000 individual packages of whole grain cereal. Specific requirements include kosher certification for numerous items, particular packaging formats (6/#10 cans for vegetables, 20 lb sealed bags for grains), detailed quality standards (beef product age not exceeding 6 months, rosy red appearance upon delivery, precise fat content limitations), and special handling instructions (oven-baked potato wedges, individually quick frozen chicken products). The specifications strictly prohibit substitutions, require compliance with all referenced standards, and reserve final product compliance determination to the NFSA/Chief Dietitian. Pricing must be quoted per unit of measure (cases, pounds, or individual items as specified), with bidders required to note case counts, weights, and product specifications on their submissions.
