Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)

The Federal Bureau of Prisons in Rochester, Minnesota, seeks to acquire various subsistence products, with services to be performed at the Federal Medical Center in Rochester, MN, and deliveries to a specified freezer company at 7447 Dresser Drive NE in the same city. The government intends to make multiple fixed-price awards to the lowest-priced, compliant bidders, with individual credit card orders for purchases under $15,000 and purchase orders for those over $15,000. Past performance is significantly more important than cost or price in the evaluation. Deliveries must occur within specific morning and afternoon windows on non-holidays, and any orders not delivered within four weeks of award will be canceled and re-awarded. All items must conform to National Specifications, with no substitutions allowed, and non-conforming items will be refused at the vendor's expense.
