Bureau of Prisons Food Supply Solicitations

The Health Services Division, Food Service Branch, in conjunction with Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General, Fraud Detection Office, offers resources in the form of contacts, handouts and posters which we hope will sensitize respondents to Bureau of Prisons food supply solicitations that allegations of fraud will be pursued. Please ensure your employees are aware that fraud investigations and subsequent prosecutions or settlements relating to performance on Bureau of

Prisons food supply contracts have identified purposeful misrepresentation of products (delivering items which do not meet the specification) and label/content alteration to be the primary grounds for fraud prosecution. It is the responsibility of the person submitting the quote to ensure the product is available at the price quoted, meets the specification as listed, and adheres to USDA

Quality Standard, Commercial Item Description Code (CID) , and Institutional Meat Purchase

Specification (IMPS) noted.

To report allegations of fraud concerning any Department of Justice contracts, contact the Fraud

Detection Office at 202.353.2975 or www.usdoj .gov/oig. If you have questions concerning the specifications contained on any Bureau of Prisons Food Supply solicitation or are interested in printable handouts or posters (examples below) which may sensitize your employees to the fact that they are responding to a solicitation from the Department of Justice o/the United States 0/ America, please contact the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Food Service Program Coordinator at

919.575.4541 x4543 or e-mail- cmusgrove@bop.gov.
