All products must maintain a minimum shelf life of 90 days from the delivery date, and evaluation will emphasize past performance and delivery schedule with greater weight than overall price.

Delivery is FOB destination with weekly deliveries on an as-needed basis to the FCI McDowell warehouse located in Welch, West Virginia 24801. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov), possess a DUNS Number, and complete all Representations and Certifications via the Online Representations and Certifications Applications (OCRA) prior to bid submission. The contract falls under NAICS code 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing) and PSC code 8945 (Food, Oils and Fats), with pricing terms set on FOB destination basis and payment to be made by electronic funds transfer.
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. In addition to your price, if your quantities such as case count differ from what is posted, please do the calculations to match what your price would be as if you were delivering what is posted also 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 issues. 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………… Emailed bids should be sent to: jriffe@bop.gov
