Bimbo Foods, Inc.

Bimbo Foods, Inc. is a commercial manufacturer and supplier of bread and bakery products that provides goods to various federal agencies through government contracts. The company has been registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since March 2010 and is classified as a for-profit organization and manufacturer of goods. Bimbo Foods primarily supplies bread, rolls, and other bakery items to federal correctional institutions and Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers to support food service operations and meet nutritional needs.

The majority of Bimbo Foods' federal contract awards come from the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration. For the Bureau of Prisons, Bimbo Foods fulfills quarterly purchase orders to provide bread and bakery products to federal correctional institutions in locations such as McKean, Pennsylvania; Manchester, Kentucky; Texarkana, Texas; and Allenwood, Pennsylvania. These contracts typically range from $20,000 to $30,000 per quarter and involve weekly deliveries of items like finger rolls, sandwich rolls, and whole wheat loaves. For the Department of Veterans Affairs, Bimbo Foods supplies bread and bakery requirements to VA medical centers in New York and Pennsylvania through the Veterans Integrated Service Network 2. These contracts are usually structured as delivery orders against existing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and range from approximately $10,000 to $85,000 annually. Some of the Bureau of Prisons contracts are set aside for small business participation, while the VA contracts do not typically have set-aside designations.

Bimbo Foods currently holds three active IDIQ contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 for providing bread and bakery requirements. These single-award IDVs were awarded on October 1, 2019, and have a maximum completion date of September 30, 2024. The contracts have ceiling values ranging from approximately $49,000 to $114,000 over the five-year period. Under these IDVs, the VA issues fixed-price delivery orders with economic price adjustments to supply bread and bakery products to various medical centers located in New York and Pennsylvania. The delivery orders support the nutritional needs of veterans receiving care through the VA health system. These IDIQ contracts allow for a flexible and efficient procurement process for the VA to meet its ongoing bread and bakery requirements across multiple facilities within the Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 region.
