The procurement covers three specific products: 25,504 loaves of whole wheat bread, 72,000 whole wheat hamburger buns (packaged 12 per package), and 36,000 whole wheat hot dog buns (packaged 12 per package), all requiring fresh delivery on a weekly basis from October 1 through December 31, 2025. Vendors must have mandatory Central Contractor Registration and complete the Online Representations and Certifications Application to be eligible for consideration. The government will evaluate proposals based on past performance, technical capability of the items offered, and price to determine the best overall value. Quotes are due by August 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time via email submission, with the anticipated award date of September 8, 2025.

This solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) with a size standard of 700 employees. No incumbent contractors or specific budget ranges are identified in the documentation, though the government indicates that awards under $10,000 will utilize a purchase card while larger amounts will generate a purchase order. The contract will operate as a firm fixed-price arrangement with delivery performance required at the United States Penitentiary Lee facility located in Pennington Gap, Virginia. The government reserves the right to make awards by individual item, by group, or in aggregate based on what provides the best overall value, and successful vendors will need to coordinate weekly delivery schedules with the facility's Food Service department.
