Place of performance is Welch, West Virginia. The procurement includes 15 line items spanning prepared meals (fish fillet, turkey cutlet, spaghetti and meatballs, beans and franks, meatloaf, Spanish omelet, Hawaiian meatballs with rice, and cheese omelet) and staples (tartar sauce, mayonnaise, cereal, instant coffee, mustard, sardines, and vegetable juice) in specified quantities ranging from 60 to 56,000 units.

When quantities differ from posted amounts, bidders must calculate and annotate adjusted pricing to match posted quantities alongside their actual case count and price.
Vendors documented with past performance issues—including expired delivery dates, specification non-compliance, or rejected warehouse items—will be placed on a do not award list for the following quarter, and subsequent bids from such vendors will be voided entirely. The agency requires respectful communication; unprofessional communication will result in exclusion from bidding in the following quarter. Bids should be emailed to jriffe@bop.gov. The contracting officer is Joe Riffe, 304-436-7386.
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
