2.0 SCOPE OF WORK
The San Diego Sector, U.S. Border Patrol would like the stations to be able to order burritos, as needed. The delivery of fresh lunch, dinner, or breakfast burritos would save the Government significant time over having to heat frozen meals. The meals must meet the specifications herein in order to meet special feeding due to religious and dietary needs. In addition to fresh burritos, the vendor must provide a limited number of pre-packaged frozen sandwiches or burritos, which only require thawing in the event of contingency operations. All food served, packaged and non-packaged must meet health standards, which includes all Federal, State, and County health and food handling regulations. Food (burritos) offered for consumption must be:
• Between 10-12 ounces to ensure adequate nutrition;
• Obtained from approved wholesale or retail sources;
• Prepared in an approved location, e.g., restaurant, commercial kitchen, bakery, etc
• Prepared by persons with valid health permits;
• Stored and transported by means which effectively prevent microbial growth, contamination, or adulteration.
3.0 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
Period of performance is five (5) twelve (12) month periods. The base year will be for 12 months from date of award. In addition, there will be four (4) one-year options to exercise at the will of the government.
4.0 PROJECTED VOLUME
Projected volume is very difficult to determine based on detainee census fluctuations. The total estimated utilization for one year is approximately 175,000 meals. San Diego Sector Border Patrol may or may not convert all meals over to one contract. This figure is only being provided so that interested vendors can determine if they want to respond to the Sources Sought Notice. Actual numbers will be provided when, and if, a formal acquisition plan is created.
5.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The San Diego Sector Border Patrol area of performance (AOP) stretches from the Border, North approximately 80 miles to Murrieta, CA (located in Riverside County), and from the Pacific Ocean East, approximately 70 Miles to Boulevard, CA.
