About this opportunity

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution McDowell is seeking kosher food products for the 4th Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025, soliciting bids from small businesses. The agency will evaluate potential contractors based on past performance, socioeconomic status, overall price, and delivery schedule, with greater emphasis placed on past performance and timely delivery. Bidders are required to carefully calculate and annotate their pricing, ensuring their case count and pricing match the posted quantities. The solicitation emphasizes strict quality control, warning that vendors who deliver expired or non-specification items will be documented and potentially placed on a "do not award" list for subsequent quarters. Bids must be submitted via email to jriffe@bop.gov by May 28, 2025, with additional questions directed to j1jackson@bop.gov or r3mullins@bop.gov.

The solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, focusing on the Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing NAICS category (311991) and Special Dietary Foods PSC category (8940). The place of performance is located in Welch, West Virginia 24801, indicating a regional procurement for the federal correctional facility. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the solicitation includes multiple attached documents such as a kosher abstract, request for quotation, and food delivery schedule that likely contain detailed quantity and pricing information. Vendors are advised that respectful communication is critical, with the agency warning that unpleasant interactions could result in disqualification from future bidding opportunities. The procurement appears to be for a quarterly food service contract, specifically targeting kosher food products for the institutional food service needs of the federal correctional facility.

Notice text

Evaluations will be based upon past performance, socio‐economic status, overall price and delivery schedule. Greater emphasis will be placed upon past performance and delivery schedule.

post your actual case count and price as well. If the calculations are not done and annotated on the bid sheet, your line item bid price will not be accepted. Due to numerous items that have attempted delivery with expired dates or not meeting specifications, etc....., we will document those items and you will be listed on a do not award list for the following quarter. Meaning if you submit a
bid on future solicitations and you have past performance issues the entire bid will be void. Past performance issues can encompass numerous issuses. If our warehouse rejects any item, please be respectful and just pick it back up.
Unpleasant communication means we will not be communicating at all the following quarter.............Please email bids to:  jriffe@bop.gov      Additional questions should be directed to:  j1jackson@bop.gov or r3mullins@bop.gov
