The U.S. Department of Justice's Federal Bureau of Prisons has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for Residential Reentry Center (RRC) and Home Confinement (HC) services in Ada County (Boise), Idaho, aimed at accommodating male and female offenders. The RFI seeks to gauge interest and capability from potential service providers to fulfill the requirements anticipated in an upcoming solicitation posted on SAM.gov. The proposal includes a guaranteed minimum of 24 beds (19 for males and 5 for females) and an estimated maximum of 60 beds (48 for males and 12 for females), alongside a guaranteed minimum of 10 home confinement placements and a maximum of 25. Respondents are encouraged to address inquiries about potential local restrictions, community support, and any unique environmental or zoning issues. The Bureau emphasizes that this RFI is for information-gathering purposes only and does not guarantee a solicitation will follow. Responses are due by November 8, 2024, and must be submitted in PDF format. This process is part of the Bureau's strategy to enhance reentry services, thereby supporting successful reintegration of offenders back into society.
The document outlines the Statement of Work (SOW) for managing and operating a Residential Reentry Center (RRC) under the Bureau of Prisons (BOP). The primary objective is to facilitate the reintegration of federal residents into society, providing services and programs that promote law-abiding behavior and self-improvement. It specifies contractor responsibilities, including provision of qualified personnel, compliance with health and safety regulations, and operational oversight to ensure program integrity.
Key sections include the administration, personnel requirements, facility compliance, and performance evaluation protocols. Contractors must maintain an updated operations manual, conduct staff training, and develop performance metrics to monitor contract adherence. Comprehensive training, including sexual abuse prevention aligned with the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), is mandated for all staff.
The SOW emphasizes accountability, requiring the contractor to report any criminal activity and deviations from requirements to the BOP. It ensures that all residents receive equitable access to programs while mandating community outreach and maintaining positive relationships with local entities. This structured approach underlines the BOP’s commitment to rehabilitation and maintaining public safety through well-organized community correctional services.
