FCC HAZELTON FY26 Q4 CERTIFIED FOODS

The contract pertains to the procurement of certified halal and kosher meals for institutional feeding programs under the U.S. Department of Justice’s USP Hazelton facility in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia, with performance aligned to Fiscal Year 2026 Quarter 4. It is structured as a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, restricted to small businesses as defined by the NAICS code 311999, with a maximum size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract value is estimated at $138,431.68, covering 32 distinct line items including pre-portioned, ready-to-heat meals such as chicken cacciatore, spaghetti and meatballs, beef franks, and various Kosher-certified drink powders, dressings, and condiments. Each item must adhere to strict ingredient specifications: no mechanically deboned meat, no artificial colors, limited use of soy protein (not exceeding 2% in beef franks and 15% overall), and mandatory labeling of all components by common name. Religious certifications are critical—each product must bear a visible kosher hechsher and comply with halal dietary laws, with failure to meet these standards automatically disqualifying the item. Packaging must consist of sealed pouches or cans with easy-open tops, in specified case counts of 12 or 36 units, and must display proper certification logos and ingredient listings without requiring barcodes, lot numbers, or expiration dates. Delivery is required to the contract performance site in Bruceton Mills, WV, with no FOB terms or invoicing method specified, and no formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, or administrative details such as COR, PCO, payment office, or accounting codes are included in the documentation. Proposals must demonstrate full compliance with labeling, certification, and compositional requirements, though submission deadlines, formats, or portals are not outlined.
