Supply & Delivery of Packaged Food Products

This Statement of Work outlines the requirements for a contractor to supply and deliver packaged box lunches (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) for up to 72 daily detainees at the ICE Atlanta Field Office Detention Intake Processing Unit. Running from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2030, the contract requires a local vendor within a 15-to-20-mile radius of the Atlanta Metro area to provide scalable, GSA Federal Supply Schedule-compliant meals. Deliveries must occur 7 days a week between 9:30 am and 3:30 pm, within two hours of a telephone order placed between 7:30 am and 1:30 pm. There are no minimum daily order guarantees or quantity restrictions, though 24-hour advance notice is required for weekend deliveries. Standard meals must feature a cold turkey and cheese sandwich, chips, and bottled water. All meals must comply with ICE National Detention Standards, USDA/FDA Dietary Guidelines, and provide an average of 2,800 to 3,000 calories per detainee daily, including nutritionist-certified special diets when requested. The vendor is responsible for procurement, tamper-proof packaging, delivery, and quality control, ensuring zero defective goods upon delivery. Invoices will be reconciled using signed receipts verified by the detention duty officer, with payments processed within 30 days. Either party may terminate the agreement with 15 days' written notice.

This document is a federal procurement Price Schedule template for providing detainee meals at the Atlanta Field Office. The contract structure consists of a one-year Base Year running from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, followed by three consecutive one-year Option Years extending to September 30, 2030. For each of the four contract periods, bidders must provide pricing for three daily meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—based on an estimated volume of 77 detainees over 365 days. Offerors are required to input their unit rates and total amounts for each meal category to calculate the annual subtotals, which will ultimately determine the grand four-year total for the contract.
