Quick Summary
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), under the Department of Justice, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for Food Service Grease Pumping and Removal Services at FCI Berlin, NH. This document justifies the sole-source procurement of these services, identifying Agri-Cycle as the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's requirements. The estimated value for this service is $5,180.00.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for food-waste-collection services, specifically grease pumping and removal, for the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Berlin, NH.
