BACKGROUND AND SCOPE

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Justice responsible for the custody and care of Federal offenders. The Bureau is conducting market research concerning Secure Juvenile Services for male and female Federal offenders at a facility located within Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, or the District of Columbia.

PURPOSE

This announcement is a Request for Information (RFI) only. Its purpose is to identify qualified sources and obtain industry input regarding the feasibility of providing the contemplated services, potential acquisition approaches, and barriers to performance. It is not a solicitation and does not request proposals or offers. The contemplated requirement is for Secure Juvenile Services (in-house beds) in accordance with the March 2025 Statement of Work (SOW), “Contract Secure Juvenile Facility with Work Release.” The Bureau seeks input on the ability of providers to support male and female Federal juvenile offenders within the identified geographic area. This requirement does not include a separate Home Confinement services line item. The current Secure Juvenile Services contract expires March 31, 2028. The Bureau anticipates a replacement indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with firm-fixed unit prices for one Secure Juvenile Services line item. The contemplated approach is award to a single provider. These acquisition approaches remain subject to the Government’s final acquisition strategy and any resulting solicitation. The anticipated requirement consists of a guaranteed minimum of 5 beds, which may be filled by a combination of male or female offenders, and an estimated maximum of 10 beds during the one-year base period and each of four one-year option periods. The anticipated base period is April 1, 2028, through March 31, 2029, with options extending through March 31, 2033. A potential six-month extension of services through September 30, 2033, is also contemplated. Final quantities, ordering terms, and performance requirements will be established in any resulting solicitation.
