The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons is seeking a meat product supplier for its MCC Chicago facility for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. The solicitation covers specific meat products including ground beef, beef patties, beef roast, and chicken products with precise specifications regarding fat content, packaging, and quality standards. Vendors must provide frozen products with detailed labeling requirements, including fat content tags, and items delivered in colored packaging will be automatically rejected. The contract requires suppliers to meet stringent product quality standards, such as USDA Grade A for chicken and specific lean meat specifications with maximum fat content limitations. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the solicitation suggests a focus on product quality, packaging compliance, and adherence to precise product specifications.

The contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses can compete for this procurement opportunity. The place of performance is located in Chicago, Illinois, specifically in the 60605 zip code area. The procurement falls under NAICS category 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) and PSC category 8905 (Meat, Poultry, And Fish), which provides additional context for the type of supplier sought. The solicitation was posted on January 8, 2025, with a response deadline of January 3, 2025, which appears to be an administrative anomaly with the due date preceding the posting date. Potential suppliers will need to carefully review the detailed product specifications, packaging requirements, and ensure they can meet the Bureau of Prisons' strict quality standards for institutional food procurement.
