About this file
This is a product specifications document for chicken procurement by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont for FY26 Q4. The document establishes detailed quality and handling standards for chicken products to be supplied to the correctional facility's food service operations.
The specifications cover whole chickens and chicken parts with precise requirements for grade, size, weight ranges, and packaging standards. Products must meet USDA Grade A standards and arrive fresh or frozen in specified packaging quantities. Key requirements include chicken breasts (6-8 ounces each), thighs, drumsticks, and whole birds within defined weight parameters (4-6 pounds for whole chickens). The document mandates proper temperature maintenance during delivery, requires USDA inspection certification, and specifies packaging in vacuum-sealed or nitrogen-flushed containers to ensure food safety and quality. Suppliers must comply with all federal food safety regulations and provide products free from defects, discoloration, and contamination. The specifications also address delivery frequency, storage requirements at the facility, and documentation standards for traceability and compliance verification. These requirements ensure the correctional facility receives consistent, safe, and nutritionally adequate poultry products to support inmate meal service operations.
