About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons, Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) Brooklyn is soliciting quotes for food service items including national menu products and kosher-certified foods for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. This Request for Quote (RFQ), numbered 15BBR026Q00000003, is issued as a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for commercial items under NAICS code 311999. The solicitation requires compliance with specific product specifications, including kosher certification for designated items, proper packaging formats, and adherence to quality and nutritional standards. Awards will be made using a best value determination method based on three evaluation factors: price (which must be fair and reasonable), past performance assessed on a Go/No-Go basis (evaluating timeliness of deliveries and order accuracy), and delivery time, with only offerors receiving a "Go" rating on past performance being eligible for award consideration. Quotes must be submitted in PDF format to Contracting Officer Dilena Infante at Dinfante@bop.gov by February 3, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, with an anticipated award date of February 18, 2026, and all quotes must remain valid for 30 calendar days after the close date.
This is a total small business set-aside with no identified incumbent contractors specified in the solicitation documents. The procurement encompasses approximately 30,764 individual package units of kosher food items and 51 line items of national menu food products, with specific quantities including 20,000 pounds of rice, 18,000 pounds of ground beef, 20,000 pounds of chicken leg quarters, and 130,000 individual packages of whole grain cereal. Delivery must occur between April 1, 2026 and April 23, 2026, with strict scheduling requirements limiting deliveries to Tuesdays through Thursdays between 7:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. at MDC Brooklyn Food Service Warehouse, Brooklyn Navy Yard, Building 4, 185 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11205, under F.O.B. destination terms. All deliveries must be palletized on standard 48" x 40" pallets with maximum height of 72 inches, require driver-assisted unloading, and must include itemized inventories and compliance with temperature and expiration date requirements. Vendors must register in the System for Award Management (SAM) and complete the Representations and Certifications application, with failure to meet delivery schedules or product specifications resulting in negative past performance evaluations and potential exclusion from future awards.
