About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Prisons' Federal Medical Center Rochester is soliciting quotes for its FY27 second-quarter subsistence requirement, with the notice listing a due date of November 24, 2027. The acquisition is a Total Small Business set-aside, and the attached RFQ 15B41227Q00000002 governs submission. The RFQ summary cites a November 24, 2026 deadline at 5:00 PM Central, so confirm the closing date against the RFQ before planning a bid.
Performance is at Rochester, Minnesota. The notice lists Rochester, MN as the place of performance, and the RFQ routes deliveries to FMC Rochester, with frozen items going to the contract freezer, MCS LLC, at 7447 Dresser Drive NE. The attached quote sheet describes 41 line items across meat, dairy, produce, and pantry staples, including 6,000 pounds of ground beef patties, 16,000 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts, and 6,500 pounds of fish fillets. No substitutions are permitted, and products must meet USDA standards and specified grades. Non-frozen perishables must arrive at 34 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, frozen foods at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below, and all items must be palletized in containers of 50 pounds or less. Delivery is due within 30 days of order, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. Deliveries not made within four weeks of award will be canceled and awarded to the next-lowest bidder. The Government may conditionally accept deliveries for up to three days for inspection.
The Government intends to make multiple fixed-price awards to the lowest-priced offerors who conform to all solicitation requirements, so price is the evaluation basis. Orders under $15,000 will be issued by credit card. Offerors must include a UEI, and the Contracting Officer will verify SAM registration before award. The notice cites NAICS 311999 and PSC 8945, and the RFQ incorporates FAR 52.212-1, 52.212-3, 52.212-4, and 52.212-5, plus DOJ-02 and DOJ-05. No incumbent is named.
