FCI JESUP FY26Q4 SUBSISTENCE

The Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Jesup is soliciting quotations under RFQP03072600012 for the supply of quarterly subsistence items, specifically bread and dairy products, to be delivered starting July 1, 2026, through September 30, 2026. This procurement, classified under NAICS code 311999 with a small business size standard of 700 employees, is a total small business set-aside. The contract will be firm-fixed-price, with the government reserving the right to make single or multiple awards. Evaluation of quotations will primarily emphasize price, supplemented by past performance, reflecting a best-value trade-off approach rather than lowest-price technically acceptable. Deliveries are to occur at FCI Jesup in Georgia, with bread ordered weekly as needed. Contractual obligations include strict packaging and preservation requirements to maintain product quality, such as using polyethylene-film bags of specified thickness, clean new materials, and USDA and FDA compliance for poultry, dairy, and other perishable goods. Labeling must clearly list ingredient names, delivered weight, and package size in accordance with federal regulations. Inspection and acceptance will be conducted at the delivery location based on federal standards and product-specific criteria. Security and compliance provisions are stringent, incorporating DOJ-specific requirements for safeguarding information systems, personnel screening, and rapid incident reporting, especially for any personally identifiable information breaches. Contractors must adhere to extensive cybersecurity standards including FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST frameworks, and submit key deliverables as government property. Payment is via electronic funds transfer, and all proposals must be submitted by May 18, 2026, via email to the designated contracting officer. No pricing has yet been established, as this is a solicitation requesting quotations.
