The New York State Office of Children and Family Services is requesting competitive quotes for New York State–produced meat items to be delivered to MacCormick Secure Center in Brooktondale under RFQ-2026-017, with quotes due March 16, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST. A mandatory sourcing restriction applies: 100% of meat must be raw materials grown, harvested, or produced in New York State, or processed meat containing at least 51% NYS raw materials by weight or volume with processing completed in-state.

MBE and WBE contracting goals are set at 15% each. No business has been awarded an identical or substantially similar contract within the past five years. Responders may quote items listed in Lot 1 on the RFQ Financial Response Quote Sheet. All quotes must include delivery costs; monthly price bids are structured on specified quantities with approximately weekly delivery. Deliveries must occur Monday through Friday between 6:00 AM and 3:00 PM and must comply with all applicable Federal and New York State food-transport regulations, including proper temperature-controlled refrigerated vehicles where necessary.

Award will be made to the lowest price meeting specified technical requirements and mandatory pass/fail criteria. Responders must hold or commit to obtain New York State business licensure within 30 days of award and certify delivery capacity to MacCormick Secure Center. This procurement supports New York State Executive Order 32, which requires OCFS to reach 30% of overall food spend on NYS-produced items by the end of calendar year 2027.

Questions are due February 23, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST, with responses provided by March 2, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST.
