FCI JESUP FY26Q4 SUBSISTENCE

The Federal Bureau of Prisons, Federal Correctional Institution Jesup, is soliciting quarterly subsistence supplies under RFQP03072600012 for delivery between July 1, 2026, and September 30, 2026, with bread ordered weekly as needed. The requirement, classified under NAICS code 311999, is a total small business set-aside with a 700-employee size standard, and the government intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract, potentially making single or multiple awards. Subsistence items include canned vegetables, legumes, dairy products, spices, and bakery items, all must meet U.S. Grade A or equivalent quality standards and comply with FDA and USDA regulations such as 21 CFR 133.113 for cheese and 21 CFR 155.170 for canned peas. Packaging must be new, sealed, and protective against dehydration and freezer burn, using polyethylene film or approved plastic containers sized from 1/2 oz to 50 lb, with labeling that clearly states ingredients in descending order of weight and the actual delivered quantity. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery point in Jesup, Georgia, with payment contingent on compliance and timely invoice submission under the Prompt Payment Act. The contract is subject to strict security and data protection requirements, including DOJ-specific policies, mandatory annual privacy training, PIV card access controls, and immediate breach reporting within one hour for any PII compromise. Contractors must maintain a compliant anti-trafficking plan, prohibit recruitment fees, and provide return transportation to non-national employees. All offerors must hold an active SAM.gov registration with a Unique Entity ID and submit proposals via email to msmiley@bop.gov by May 18, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST. Award will be made to the offeror whose quote is most advantageous to the Government, with price weighted more heavily than past performance, and no LPTA process is specified. Security obligations flow down to subcontractors, who are held to the same standards, and prime contractors bear full accountability for compliance, including third-party assessments and personnel background controls.
