About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix is seeking price quotes for subsistence items including eggs, bread, and dairy products required for inmate consumption during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 (April 1 – June 30, 2026). This solicitation (15BFTD26Q00000004) is a commercial items acquisition that requires offerors to submit quotes in Excel format along with completed Standard Form 1449 and a Contractor Information Sheet by February 16, 2026 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. All awarded vendors must be registered in the SAM System and willing to accept Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) as payment. The government will evaluate quotes using a Go/No-Go basis for past performance—specifically assessing timeliness of deliveries and order accuracy and completeness—with price serving as a secondary evaluation factor. Notably, vendors with multiple terminations for cause will be deemed ineligible for award. Offerors must quote only on specified items without modifications to item descriptions or units of issue and cannot use restrictive language such as "Minimum Award Amount" or "All or None" provisions.
This solicitation is designated as 100 percent set-aside for small businesses under NAICS code 311999 (All Other Food Manufacturing) with a size standard of 700 employees. The National Menu Specifications document identifies 253 line items across multiple food categories, with previous quarterly awards totaling approximately $615,000 and major vendors including SHAVER, GALORE, GERJ SRVS, ELWOOD, and FEESERS. Notably, bread items (hot dog rolls, hamburger rolls, and whole wheat bread) will be evaluated and awarded together to a single vendor based on lowest total price rather than split among multiple vendors. All awarded items must be delivered between April 1-16, 2026, with strict temperature and freshness requirements enforced, and deliveries accepted Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM at FCI Fort Dix in McGuire AFB, New Hanover, New Jersey. The contracting officer is Arturo Aponte-Berrios, with delivery inquiries directed to Dan Cruz at 609-723-1100.
