About this file

This document is a federal contract award notice for meat products for the United States Penitentiary Hazleton, covering Fiscal Year 2025 Third Quarter. The contract, valued at $338,442.00, was awarded to multiple vendors for various meat and protein items including beef patties, ground beef, roast beef, chicken leg quarters, chicken patties, boneless chicken, fish fillets, frankfurters, Italian sausage, pork roast, turkey roast, and ground turkey. Each line item specifies detailed product requirements such as fat content, packaging specifications, quality grades, and processing standards consistent with USDA and FSIS regulations.

The award was made to eight different vendors, including Pueblo Trading, Matt's Trading, North Star Imports, and others, with individual line item prices ranging from $0.53 to $3.65 per pound. The procurement emphasizes strict quality control measures, including requirements for product freshness, fat content, packaging integrity, and compliance with federal food safety standards. The contract appears to be for a federal correctional facility's food service needs, with specific requirements for product composition, labeling, and packaging to ensure high-quality, standardized meat and protein products.
