About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Prisons' Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix is soliciting quotes for certified kosher food items and supplies for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2026 (April 1–June 30, 2026), including prepared meals, protein sources, breakfast items, breads, beverages, condiments, and spreads totaling 40 line items. The procurement covers subsistence items for inmate consumption at the facility and requires all products to bear kosher certification hechsher markings and comply with strict BOP National Menu Specifications as determined by the NFSA/Chief Dietitian. Vendors must submit quotes in Excel format along with a completed Standard Form 1449 and Contractor Information Sheet via email to aaponteberrios@bop.gov and bvirgillo@bop.gov by February 16, 2026 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. The government will award line items to the lowest responsive and responsible offeror based on price evaluation using a Go/No-Go assessment of past performance; notably, bread items (hot dog, hamburger, and whole wheat) will be evaluated collectively rather than separately to ensure consolidated pricing and will not be split among multiple vendors. All vendors must be registered in the SAM system and willing to accept Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for payment, with delivery required by April 1–16, 2026.
This is a 100 percent small business set-aside procurement under NAICS code 311999 (Other Food Manufacturing) with a size standard of 700 employees, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The estimated contract value is approximately $70,148 based on comparable FY26 second quarter pricing, though final award amounts will depend on submitted quotes and quantities ordered. All awarded items must be delivered to FCI Fort Dix at McGuire AFB, New Hanover, New Jersey, with deliveries accepted Monday through Thursday from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm; contractors must coordinate delivery appointments directly with the Food Service warehouse staff at 609-723-1100. Temperature and freshness requirements are strictly enforced, with non-frozen perishable foods delivered between 34–41 degrees Fahrenheit, frozen foods at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below, and all items requiring valid expiration dates and the OU kosher symbol on individual packages. The receiving facility reserves the right to conduct a three-day conditional receipt inspection period, and any items failing to meet specifications must be picked up by the vendor within two weeks at their expense.
