FY26 4TH QTR BREAD AWARDS

The contract pertains to the procurement of standardized bread products for the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Elkton in Ohio under solicitation 15B21626P00000075 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. The scope includes the supply of enriched, whole wheat, sourdough, and kosher bread items, with precise technical requirements governed by Commercial Item Descriptions A-A-20053C for rolls and A-A-20052C for whole wheat kosher bread. All products must be delivered within 48 hours of baking to ensure freshness, with minimum pack sizes of eight units per pack, and vendors are required to clearly state pack size and product type on their bids. The award will be made on an “all or none” basis, meaning the entire requirement will be awarded to a single vendor without partial awards, and no substitutions or deviations from the specified standards are permitted. The contract value is estimated at $60,704.43, based on approximate quantities and unit prices for three line items: 43,700 whole wheat loaves, 57,000 white loaves, and 381,577 slices of sourdough bread. Performance is required at FCI Elkton, Ohio, with no specified FOB terms or delivery window beyond the 48-hour freshness window. The contract includes no formal FAR clauses, and no evaluation factors, weights, or award methodology beyond compliance with product standards and delivery terms are detailed. Packaging and marking must align with the referenced CIDs, though no barcoding, lot traceability, or expiration dating is mandated. The solicitation prohibits foreign sourcing unless explicitly permitted and requires kosher certification for one product line. No payment office, invoicing system, contracting officer, or administrative contact details are provided, and no formal submission guidelines, proposal format instructions, or certification requirements are included in the available documentation. The procurement is driven purely by adherence to federal food specifications and logistical constraints, with oversight administered by the Department of Justice through FCI Elkton.
