FCI Leavenworth FY27 QTR 1 Kosher Requirement

FCI Leavenworth, part of the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons, has issued awards for certified Kosher and Halal food requirements. The Kosher requirement for FY27 Quarter 1 was conducted as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 311999, with multiple awards granted to National Food Group, The B2G Group, and Shaver Foods based on price and past performance evaluations. Similarly, a notice of award for Halal meals for the second quarter of FY2026 was granted to LA Foods for a total value of 12,911.60 dollars. This award was based on a trade-off between price and high past performance in accordance with FAR 12.203(a)(2). The scope of work involves the delivery of standardized, portion-controlled frozen meals to the facility in Leavenworth, Kansas. Specific deliverables include a variety of certified Halal meals such as fish fillet, chicken cacciatore, and beef meatballs, as well as frozen bologna luncheon meat. Strict quality and labeling standards are enforced, requiring a visible Halal certification symbol on all packaging and adherence to specific ingredient limits, such as a maximum of 3.5 percent non-meat binders and 2 percent isolated soy protein in certain meat products. Performance is conducted on an as required order basis, with a strong emphasis on religious dietary compliance and product formulation.
