About this file
This is a solicitation cover letter from the Federal Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution in Edgefield, South Carolina, for the acquisition of kosher food products. The Federal Correctional Institution is soliciting quotes for quarterly common fare and kosher items with a firm-fixed price contract type. The solicitation is restricted to 100% small businesses, with FOB destination delivery scheduled for on or around July 1, 2026, to the facility at 501 Gary Hill Road, Edgefield, South Carolina 29824. Quotes are due by Friday, May 15, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and must be submitted via email to s1rhodes@bop.gov or kstroman@bop.gov or hand-carried to the specified administration building address. The Government intends to make an all-or-none award on kosher meals while reserving the right to make multiple awards on remaining items, with past performance and price weighted equally in the evaluation.
All quoters must submit their Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) and Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) numbers and maintain current registration in the System for Award Management (SAMS) database to remain eligible for award consideration. Vendors are required to include religious certification letters and USDA inspection certification letters with each bid. Pricing must strictly adhere to quoted amounts, and any changes to package sizing or quantities must be noted on the bid sheet; failure to note changes requires the vendor to honor the original quoted price. The solicitation emphasizes that vendors selected for award cannot request price increases and must deliver items exactly as specified; substitutions will result in award to the next lowest bidder. Questions should be submitted in writing via fax to (803) 637-7161 or email to s1rhodes@bop.gov, with contact available by phone at (803) 637-1339 or (803) 637-1342.
