Poultry (Chicken/Turkey) Supply

The contract entails the supply of frozen or fresh chicken and turkey products to support daily meal operations at FCC Tucson, with all deliveries required to meet strict quality and safety standards for consistent use in institutional feeding. The solicitation is structured as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small businesses certified by the SBA are eligible to bid, ensuring opportunities for smaller suppliers in the poultry distribution sector. The NAICS code 424460 classifies this as a wholesale trade activity for meat and meat products, indicating the vendor must operate as a distributor rather than a processor. Performance is tied to the location in Tucson with a zip code of 85756, and goods must be delivered on a daily basis to sustain the meal service schedule. The response deadline is set for May 22, 2026, at 3:30 PM, with the opportunity posted on May 27, 2026, suggesting a potential data entry discrepancy in the timeline; however, contractors should adhere strictly to the stated deadline for submission. The agency responsible is the Department of Justice through its FCC Tucson facility, and while the point of contact details are unavailable, all proposals must align with federal procurement regulations and facility-specific requirements for food service. Bidders must be prepared to demonstrate reliable logistics, consistent product availability, and compliance with food safety protocols to meet the operational needs of a federal correctional institution.
