3rd Qtr FY 26 BREAD (Re-Solicited)

The contract solicitation for 3rd Qtr FY 26 BREAD is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, exclusively open to small business concerns, with a NAICS code of 311991 for baking and related products, administered by the Federal Bureau of Prisons at FCI McDowell in Welch, West Virginia. Evaluation for award will prioritize past performance and delivery schedule, collectively carrying a 75% weighting, with the remaining 25% allocated to overall price and socio-economic status; award will be made to a single vendor based on past practice and total value, using a trade-off process rather than lowest price technically acceptable. All bids must include accurate pricing aligned with the posted quantities, and failure to recalculate price based on the specified case counts will result in rejection. Deliveries must be FOB destination, with fresh bread required to arrive within 48 hours after baking at the designated facility, and products must comply with CID A-A-20052B and other applicable federal standards, including Buy American and trade agreement requirements. The solicitation mandates full compliance with FAR clauses covering labor standards, employment eligibility verification, anti-trafficking, ethics, subcontracting restrictions, and wage requirements under Executive Order 13658, while offerors must certify their small business status and socio-economic designations through SAM.gov, including any HUBZone, WOSB, or SDVOSB claims. Proposals must be submitted via standard SF 1449 form with required electronic representations completed through ORCA, and physical or electronic submissions must reach the specified address by 9:00 a.m. EST on April 27, 2026, with all inquiries directed to Joe Riffe at jriffe@bop.gov. Payment will be processed by electronic funds transfer to the Federal Correctional Institution, McDowell’s designated office, and acceptance of goods will occur upon inspection at the delivery site by an authorized government representative.
