The Federal Bureau of Prisons Field Acquisition Office, operating under the Department of Justice, is soliciting quotes for various subsistence food items to supply the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Duluth for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2026. The procurement encompasses multiple food product categories including meats (beef patties, ground beef, chicken leg quarters, chicken patties, and boneless chicken), canned vegetables, coffee, flour, spices, and cooking oils, with all items required to meet strict quality specifications and be grown, processed, and packed in the United States or Canada. This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued as Solicitation Number 15B40226Q00000001, with quotes due by December 5, 2025, and the contract expected to result in single or multiple firm-fixed-price awards.

The solicitation document incorporates provisions and clauses through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2025-03, and no written solicitation will be issued beyond this announcement.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) with a size standard of 700 employees, limiting competition to qualified small business vendors. Delivery is scheduled to occur between January 2, 2026, and January 16, 2026, with all deliveries occurring F.O.B. destination at FPC Duluth in Hermantown, Minnesota, between 6:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on weekdays only.

No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation notice, though the scope and detail of requirements indicate a substantial procurement for a federal correctional facility. Contractors must coordinate and schedule all deliveries in advance with the government contract officer or designated representative, with confirmation of delivery date and time required prior to shipment.
