FCC BUTNER FY23 2ND QTR MEATS

The Federal Correctional Complex Butner, under the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Prisons, issued solicitation 15B10623Q00000008 for the procurement of various meat products for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. This total small business set-aside contract, categorized under NAICS 311612, covers a performance period from January 1, 2023, through March 31, 2023, with a specific delivery window required between January 23 and January 31, 2023. The procurement includes a wide array of items such as ground beef, beef patties, beef roast, boneless skinless chicken, breaded chicken filets, fish fillets, Italian sausage, pork shoulder, bologna, frankfurters, salami, and prepared beef and bean burritos. Notably, the requirements for boneless roast turkey and turkey or chicken frankfurters were canceled. The contract mandates strict adherence to BOP National Menu Specifications, including precise temperature controls for perishable and frozen goods and specific palletization requirements. The pricing is structured per pound for most meat items, ranging from 0.34 per unit for burritos to 3.29 per pound for breaded fish fillets. Compliance with these technical specifications and delivery schedules is critical, as failures are noted to negatively impact the contractor's past performance record. The procurement process was managed by contract specialists Norma Baskerville and Casey McLean in Butner, North Carolina.
