The Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Correctional Institution in Edgefield, South Carolina, intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract (solicitation number 15B30326Q00000016) for the supply of quarterly dairy products, specifically whole milk and kosher whole milk, delivered twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays starting July 6, 2026. Deliveries must be made to the institution’s address and adhere to strict timing requirements, with no deliveries after 2:00 pm and avoidance of holidays; if a scheduled delivery falls on a holiday, it will be rescheduled for the next business day. The Government may adjust delivery quantities and schedules weekly based on institutional needs. This procurement is unrestricted and evaluated on a best-value basis, equally weighing past performance and price, with a total small business set-aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB). Offerors are required to submit quotations by May 15, 2026, including their DUNS and UEI numbers, with award anticipated on May 20, 2026, for contract performance beginning July 1, 2026. The solicitation and all modifications will be posted exclusively on Beta.SAM.gov, requiring interested parties to monitor for updates. The contract incorporates standard commercial item clauses under FAR Part 12, including clauses relating to offeror representations, contract terms, and privacy protections. Milk products must comply with CID A-A-20338A and the FDA’s milk identity standards (21 CFR §131.110) and be aseptically packaged or bottled in 8-ounce portions, each bearing kosher certification where applicable. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery site, with strict adherence to product quality and kosher certification requirements. Payment will be processed via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) by the contracting agency at Edgefield. Security and privacy provisions outline mandatory safeguarding of government information, media sanitization per NIST guidelines, breach reporting within one hour of discovery for Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and annual cybersecurity and privacy training for all contractor personnel. Subcontractors and cloud service providers must also comply with these strict requirements, with accountability flowing through the prime contractor. Offerors must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and demonstrate WOSB/EDWOSB status. The Government intends to award on an all-or-none basis, emphasizing both price reasonableness and vendor reliability to support uninterrupted dairy service to the institution.
