The VA Central Texas Veterans Healthcare System is conducting market research for a potential firm-fixed-price contract for bread products, with performance at the Olin E. Teague VA Medical Center in Temple, TX and the Doris Miller VA Medical Center in Waco, TX. The contractor would provide and deliver fresh bread and bread-type products—such as sandwich bread, hamburger/hot dog buns, cinnamon swirl, hoagie rolls, and Texas toast—weekly to the Nutrition & Food Services walk-in coolers at both campuses. Deliveries must be made one day per week by 11:00 AM, including federal holidays, with rejected products replaced the same day by 3:00 PM, and bread must have at least seven calendar days of remaining shelf life. The period of performance is a base year from 12/01/2026 through 11/30/2027, plus options running through 11/30/2031. The notice seeks capability and socioeconomic information from qualified sources under NAICS 311812 with a 1,000-employee size standard, and requires compliance with inspection, labeling, availability notification, personnel, and weekly invoicing requirements.
