The government plans to award to the responsible vendor(s) offering the best overall value based on price, delivery time, and past performance, reserving the right to make single or multiple awards. Quotes are due by December 11, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. Questions must be submitted in writing to Cara Hern (chern@bop.gov) or Eve Rivera-White (eriverawhite@bop.gov).
The "CONTRACTOR’S INFORMATION SHEET" (15B20526Q00000005) is a document for the FMC Devens - Dairy project, specifically for the FY26 2nd Quarter. It is designed to collect essential contact and identification details from contractors. The sheet requires the company name, Unique Entity ID, Cage Code, the name of a point of contact, their email address, and phone number. This information is crucial for government RFPs, federal grants, or state/local RFPs, enabling proper identification and communication with potential contractors. The document explicitly requests that all information be typed or printed legibly to ensure accuracy.
This government file from DEVENS FMC, Federal Bureau of Prisons, outlines a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for dairy products for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. The RFQ, categorized under "Weeklies" and "Cold Storage Area," details specific dairy items, quantities, and product specifications. Items include Skim Milk (1/2 pints, with a specific requirement for Kosher, UHT-processed, plant-based options), Bulk Skim Milk (5-gallon bags for dispensers), Cottage Cheese (5-pound containers, with detailed curd and fat content specifications), and Sour Cream (5-pound containers). Each item specifies unit type requested, UFMS number, and includes detailed CID (Commercial Item Description) references and other relevant notes for bidders regarding packaging, certification, and product characteristics. The document serves as a procurement request for dairy supplies, guiding potential vendors on the required products and standards.
The FMC Devens Food Service Department is establishing delivery guidelines for dairy products, beginning January 1st, 2026. Deliveries are preferred on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 7:30 AM and 2:00 PM EST, with flexibility for vendor routes. Prior to delivery, the Food Service Warehouse must be contacted for approval or adjustments. Strict adherence to schedules is required, with non-compliance potentially leading to contract termination. All orders must ship complete, and items will undergo a three-day inspection period, with rejected products requiring replacement within 24 hours. Failure to meet specifications may also result in contract termination. All deliveries must be palletized. Perishable foods must be delivered between 34-40°F, and frozen foods at 0°F or below. Certified religious diet items must be marked “kosher parve” and certified by an accepted Orthodox Kosher certification agency. Vendors failing to meet these requirements may be removed from future consideration.
