FDC PHILADELPHIA FY26 4TH QTR KOSHER FOOD ITEMS

The Federal Bureau of Prisons, through the Federal Detention Center Philadelphia, is issuing a sole-source, small business set-aside solicitation for kosher food products under solicitation number 15B21726Q00000007, with a firm fixed price structure and FOB Destination terms requiring full delivery by September 16, 2026, to 700 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106. This requirements-type contract covers 35 distinct kosher parve meal items, each packaged in 14-ounce portions and requiring precise non-metallic, microwave- and oven-safe packaging sealed within a three-compartment tray and an outer clear plastic wrapper; all products must be labeled with a recognized Orthodox kosher certification hechsher, clearly state ingredients, weight, and kosher designation, and comply with specified temperature controls for shelf-stable or frozen items. Submissions must be made exclusively in Microsoft Excel format via email to bvirgillo@bop.gov by May 21, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. EST, and must align exactly with the provided item descriptions and units of measure; handwritten entries or alternative file formats will not be accepted. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov with a valid Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, and must self-certify as a small business under NAICS code 311991, with no more than 1,000 employees, and may also qualify under additional socioeconomic categories such as WOSB, SDVOSB, or HUBZone. The award will be made based on a trade-off analysis where past performance carries equal weight to price, and factors including failure to meet specifications, previous delivery failures, or non-compliance with kosher standards may render an offeror non-responsible. All products are subject to inspection and acceptance at the delivery site, with refusal of items lacking proper certification, evidence of thawing, or those under public health alerts. The contract includes mandatory compliance with DOJ security requirements such as DOJ-05, requiring protection of Department information and systems, C-SCRM practices under NIST SP 800-161, annual reporting on PII processed, and continuity of performance during national emergencies as outlined in DOJ-08.
