About this file
This is a National Menu Specifications Quote Sheet for Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Herlong for fiscal year 2026, second quarter. The document details a comprehensive food procurement list with 61 line items across various food categories including beans, pasta, rice, vegetables, meats, cheese, eggs, milk, and other miscellaneous food products. Quantities range from small amounts like 3 pounds of thyme to large quantities such as 126,000 individual milk servings and 6,000 pounds of chicken leg quarters.
Key specifications include strict requirements for product origin (preferring United States or Canada), quality grades, packaging, and processing standards. Many items have detailed technical specifications, such as specific cuts of meat, moisture content for cheeses, and preparation methods. The document emphasizes compliance with federal regulations, with warnings that failure to meet specifications will result in the quoted item not being considered for award. The quote sheet is designed to provide precise procurement guidelines for institutional food service, covering frozen, canned, fresh, and processed food items with exacting standards for quality, packaging, and nutritional content.
