Period of Performance July 06, 2026 - September 29, 2026 Place of Performance Federal Bureau of Prisons, FCI El Reno, 4205 US Hwy 66 West, El Reno, OK 73036 Bidder Requirements Bidders must ensure compliance with all specifications outlined in the solicitation. Vendors who fail to meet delivery schedules or specifications will be removed from future awards indefinitely. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, with Brothers Produce of Dallas awarded multiple prior milk delivery contracts for FCI El Reno in FY 2025–2026, including $21,811 (07/01/25–09/30/25) and $21,311 (01/06/26–03/31/26), as well as $21,310 (10/01/25–12/31/25). The prior awards specifically cover milk for the inmate population at FCI El Reno and align with the current requirement to deliver pasteurized whole milk in specified packaging with strict temperature controls and palletized delivery. The recurring quarterly milk procurement suggests the FY 2026 4th quarter effort is a continuation of the same institutional dairy supply need.
