About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons at USP Big Sandy in Inez, Kentucky issued an Award Notice on December 23, 2025, for a second quarter fiscal year 2026 food service contract targeting small businesses under NAICS 311999 with a 700-employee size standard. The contract encompasses 89 line items of general food service and subsistence items, including kosher and halal meals, meats, dairy products, vegetables, spices, and prepared foods, with individual item pricing ranging from $0.0075 for sugar substitute packets to $5.38 for halal spaghetti and meatballs meals. Multiple vendors were awarded portions of the contract based on competitive pricing and past performance evaluations, including Shaver Foods, LA Foods, North Star Import, APEX, National Food Group, and Veterans Alliance. Contract Specialist Jacob Flanigan determined all awarded vendors to be responsible with satisfactory past performance histories and no prior terminations for cause. While the notice does not specify a total contract value or exact quantities for each line item, the quarterly subsistence requirement reflects the prison facility's operational food service needs across diverse dietary requirements.
