FCC Coleman - Q3 FY26 Halal Menu

The “HALAL MEALS SPECIFICATIONS NOVEMBER 2024” document outlines detailed requirements for certified Halal meals for the FCC Coleman institution for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. The RFP specifies various Halal meal items, including fish fillet, beans and franks, chicken wing, chicken cacciatore, chicken chow mein, turkey cutlet, meatloaf, Hawaiian meatballs, spaghetti and meatballs, cheese omelet, Spanish omelet, and Halal bologna. Each item has precise weight and ingredient specifications, with strict prohibitions against non-compliant components like pork, alcohol, and certain binders. Suppliers must provide a Halal certification letter and ensure all individual meal packages are clearly marked with a Halal symbol. The document also details general meal specifications, including non-metallic, three-compartment trays, heating instructions, and specific compositions for mixed vegetables, peas and carrots, mashed potatoes, and tomato sauce. Failure to comply with these religious diet specifications will result in disqualification, and no substitutions will be accepted. The document also includes sections for bid acceptance/denial, payment terms, and delivery requirements, emphasizing strict adherence to temperature controls and inspection protocols to ensure food safety and quality.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons issued a memorandum on January 28, 2026, outlining detailed delivery schedules and vendor requirements for the quarter spanning April 1 to June 30, 2026. Four schedules are provided, ranging from single shipments to weekly deliveries, with specific dates and times. Vendors must adhere to strict delivery windows, product specifications (including temperature for perishables), and packaging requirements (palletized and wrapped). Non-compliance, such as early or late deliveries, or failure to meet specifications, will be considered a performance issue, potentially leading to rejected deliveries, re-awarded contracts, and impact on future awards. The memorandum also details procedures for conditional receipt of items, vendor pick-up of unacceptable goods, and invoice submission (no faxes, mail or email only). All inquiries should be directed to Angel Metcalf via email, with specific instructions regarding contact with the accounting department.
