Bread - FY26 Q4

The contract solicitation for bread supply under solicitation number 15B50226Q00000049 is issued by the Federal Bureau of Prisons at FCC Beaumont in Texas for the period of July 6, 2026, through September 30, 2026, with offers due by June 24, 2026, at 12:00 CT. The procurement is a total small business and women-owned small business set-aside under NAICS code 311812 and is structured as a single award firm fixed price contract with all-or-nothing terms. Offerors must supply three specific bread products: Finger (Hot Dog) Rolls, Sandwich (Hamburger) Rolls, and Kosher Wheat Bread, each subject to stringent technical specifications including adherence to CID A-A-20053C standards for roll types, whole wheat as the first ingredient for kosher bread, and 22 slices per loaf. All bread must be fresh, delivered within 48 hours of baking, and maintain a shelf life of at least two weeks from the printed date, with every package clearly labeled with a production date. Weekly deliveries are mandatory, shipped FOB destination to 5980 Knauth Road, Beaumont, TX 77705. Compliance requires immediate validation of SAM registration with a current Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), as failure to register eliminates eligibility for award. For the Kosher Wheat Bread line item, offerors must submit a valid religious certification from an accredited agency dated no more than eleven months prior to submission, and failure to include this renders the quote unacceptable. Proposals must use the designated National/Kosher Menu Specifications Quote Sheets exclusively—pricing and item details are prohibited on Standard Form 1449. Offerors are also required to complete specific blocks on the solicitation form, including certification of representations under FAR 52.204-7 and FAR 52.203-18. The government may request product samples prior to award, and acceptance is contingent upon inspection by an authorized representative who verifies receipt, inspection, and conformance to contract requirements. Invoicing must follow instructions in Block 18a, with remittance address disclosed if different from the submission address. No contract value is specified, but award is based on lowest price technically acceptable with consideration of past performance.
