FCC florence FY26 QTR 1 milk

The Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Correctional Complex in Florence, Colorado is seeking to procure various milk and dairy products for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The solicitation covers multiple dairy items including 264,000 units of nonfat milk, 5,500 units each of chocolate milk and eggnog, 150 units of cottage cheese, 80 units of sour cream, and 36,000 units of ice cream, all requiring kosher certification and specific packaging specifications. Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov with complete representations and certifications, and are required to submit quotes using only the provided Excel sheet format, as handwritten bids will be rejected. The evaluation will consider past performance as approximately equal in value to price, with poor past performance potentially disqualifying vendors. The solicitation was posted on August 22, 2025, with quotes due by September 9, 2025, at 4:00 PM Mountain Time, though there appears to be a discrepancy in the documentation showing an earlier deadline of September 3, 2025.

This procurement has no set-aside designation, making it available to all qualified vendors under NAICS code 311511 (Fluid Milk Manufacturing). The contract is structured as a firm-fixed price arrangement with FOB Destination terms, requiring full delivery to be completed by December 31, 2026, with initial delivery expected within 30 days of award. All products must be delivered to the Federal Correctional Complex in Florence, Colorado, with shipping costs included in vendor pricing. Payment will be processed through Electronic Funds Transfer or Government Purchase Card, and the contracting officer Brittany Baker serves as the primary point of contact for all solicitation inquiries. The government reserves the right to award to the vendor whose offer conforms to solicitation requirements and provides the most advantageous value to the government.
