About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Prisons' Federal Medical Center Devens seeks quotes for four bread and bread-product line items for FY27 Q2, with quotes due November 23, 2026. The procurement is unrestricted, with no set-aside used, under a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items (FAR Subpart 12.6) with a 1,000-employee small business size standard for NAICS 311812.
Line items total 12,700 units: 8,800 sliced 24-ounce loaves (Item 0001), 2,600 whole wheat hamburger buns and 1,100 whole wheat hot dog buns (16 per package each), and 200 24-ounce white bread loaves. Pricing is per line item on a firm-fixed-price basis. Above $15,000.00, the government issues a firm-fixed-price purchase order; at or below that threshold, it uses a Government Purchase Card. The government intends multiple awards by line item to the best-value quoters. Evaluation factors are price (fairness and reasonableness), past performance (including late deliveries, missing items, and frequent substitutions), and delivery history. No evaluation weights are stated.
Delivery is F.O.B. destination to the FMC Devens Food Service Department, 36 Independence Drive, Building 1677, Devens, MA 01434, within 30 calendar days after receipt of order unless the FMC Devens Food Service Administrator agrees otherwise. Deliveries are accepted 7:30 am to 2:00 pm EST, excluding federal holidays, and must be pre-arranged at (978) 796-1004. Bread must be delivered within 48 hours of baking at 34°F to 41°F, on racks measuring 30 by 45 by 72 inches, with individual date stamping (lot dating not acceptable). Use-by dates must extend at least 10 days from delivery where Julian dates are not used. The government may conditionally receive items for up to three days for examination. Nonconforming items must be retrieved by the vendor within two weeks at vendor expense.
Quotes require completion of Standard Form 1449 blocks 12, 17, 23, 24, and 30, plus a contractor information sheet listing the Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, and point of contact. The awardee must return an acknowledgment copy within 48 hours of award issuance. The attached RFQ is numbered 15B20527Q00000003, which differs from the notice's solicitation number, 15B20527Q00000002.
