This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the Federal Bureau of Prisons for Danbury FCI for certified food products in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2026. The solicitation covers two primary storage categories: dry storage items and frozen meals, with emphasis on religiously certified products including Kosher and Halal items to accommodate the dietary requirements of the inmate population.

Dry storage requirements include Kosher Beverage (12 cases), Kosher Fruit Flavored Drink Powder (individual serving packets, 12 cases), Kosher Peanut Butter in 2-ounce individual packets (25 cases with 200-count per case), Kosher Tuna Fish in 4-6 ounce individual packages (1,500 units), and Kosher Vegetable Juice in 5-7 ounce sealed pouches or cans (1,500 units). All individual packages must be marked with appropriate kosher certification hechshers and designated as Certified Kosher Parve. Frozen meal items encompass both Halal and Kosher certified products, including Halal Beans & Franks Meals (60 units), Halal Bologna packages (120 units), and multiple Halal chicken meals (Cacciatore, Chow Mein, and Wing meals at 60 units each), along with Halal Fish Fillet and Meatloaf meals (60 units each), and Halal Turkey Cutlet meals (60 units).
