About this file
This is a Religious Diet Specifications Quote Sheet for USP McCREARY in Pine Knot, Kentucky for Fiscal Year 2026, Quarter 4, under RFQ 15B12026Q00000004, which requires kosher certification for all items.
The solicitation specifies 40 line items of kosher food products to be supplied to the federal correctional institution. Items include prepared meals (fish fillets, beans and franks, chicken wings, chicken cacciatore, chicken chow mein, turkey cutlets, meatloaf, Hawaiian meatballs, and spaghetti with meatballs), breakfast items (cheese omelets and Spanish omelets), individual protein components (bologna luncheon meat, tuna, and sardines), and shelf-stable staples (cereals, oatmeal, farina, bread, vegetable juice, potato chips, and margarine). The RFQ also requires condiments and sauces (salad dressing, mayonnaise, tartar sauce, catsup, mustard), spreads (jelly, preserves, peanut butter), beverages (coffee, fruit drink powder, instant milk, fresh milk, milk substitutes), and miscellaneous items (sugar substitutes, pastries, and fat-free dressing). Unit quantities range from 60 to 240,000 each across line items. Products must be classified as Kosher Parve, Kosher Meat, or Kosher Dairy, with individual packages marked with kosher certification hechsher symbols. Each prepared meal includes detailed component specifications regarding weights, ingredients, preparation methods, and restrictions on binders, extenders, and soy protein content. The NFSA/Chief Dietitian will make final determinations on product compliance. Failure to comply with religious diet specifications will result in items not being considered for award, and no specification substitutions are accepted.
