FY26 4TH QTR DAIRY AWARDS

The contract award pertains to the procurement of dairy products for federal institutional use under the FY26 4TH QTR DAIRY AWARDS, issued by the Federal Correctional Institution at Elkton, Ohio, under the Department of Justice. The solicitation number is 15B21626P00000073, posted on July 7, 2026, with a total estimated value of $63,462.80, encompassing two line items: 60 units of reduced-fat sour cream at $10.00 per 5-pound container and 204,100 units of pasteurized whole milk at $0.3080 per ½ pint container. All products must conform strictly to federal standards, including CID A-A-20251 for sour cream and CID A-A-20338A for milk, alongside compliance with 21 CFR §131.110 for the standard of identity for milk, with no substitutions permitted. Deliveries are required to be made to ELKTON, OH 44415, with acceptance occurring at that location, and products must originate from the United States or Canada unless otherwise permitted. Packaging must adhere to specified container types and sizes but no additional requirements for labeling, barcoding, or preservation beyond pasteurization are detailed. The award appears to follow a compliance-based approach, where technical acceptability is a non-negotiable threshold and price serves as the primary differentiator, suggesting a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, though not formally stated. The contracting office is responsible for administration, with primary point of contact Logan Kress and secondary point of contact Zach Bowers, but no information is provided regarding payment office details, accounting codes, invoicing procedures, contract administration representatives, or evaluation factors beyond compliance. No contract clauses, attachments, representations, certifications, submission deadlines, or proposal formatting instructions are included in the documentation, indicating that this award notice relies entirely on adherence to predefined product specifications and sourcing rules without additional contractual complexity.
