Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity for FCI Fort Dix subsistence items (eggs, bread, and dairy) for January 1, 2027 through March 31, 2027 appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract activity based on multiple FY27 quarter food subsistence awards at the same facility. Prior awards under 15BFTD27P00000002 ($139,600), 15BFTD27P00000008 ($100,508), and others were issued to provide food subsistence for the inmate population housed at FCI Fort Dix during overlapping FY27 periods (e.g., 10/01/26–12/31/26), indicating continuity of the same type of commercial food supply requirement. The current solicitation’s focus on bread-related items (hot dog buns, hamburger buns, whole wheat bread) and dairy aligns with the prior “food subsistence” scope for the same location and customer.
— Amendment Summary: The opportunity changed from the FY27 1st quarter solicitation to the 2nd quarter solicitation, with solicitation number updated to 15BFTD27Q00000001.
