The U.S. Department of Justice's Federal Bureau of Prisons has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to explore potential sources for providing Residential Reentry Center (RRC) and Home Confinement (HC) services specifically for male offenders in the Washington, DC area and surrounding counties. The Bureau is seeking feedback from service providers on the feasibility of these services, which will be part of an anticipated Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The RFI will gather insights regarding capacity for up to 300 in-house beds and 150 home confinement placements, also requiring the accommodation of sex offenders.
Interested vendors are urged to respond to specific questions regarding their experience, local ordinances, transportation availability, zoning issues, and any unique regulatory concerns. This RFI aims to inform future procurement processes; however, it does not constitute a commitment to a contract or a formal solicitation. Responses are due by November 21, 2024, and all submissions are treated as public information unless marked otherwise. This initiative reflects the Bureau's interest in enhancing community-based reintegration solutions for offenders, emphasizing consultation with local service providers and stakeholders.
The government announcement is a Request For Information (RFI) concerning the provision of Residential Reentry Center (RRC) services in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, which includes parts of Maryland and Virginia. This RFI aims to identify qualified service providers capable of fulfilling upcoming solicitation requirements for RRC services, including Home Confinement (HC) placements specifically for male offenders. The anticipated solicitation will be structured as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, featuring tiered pricing with both a guaranteed minimum and an estimated maximum for placements. The projections include a maximum of 300 in-house RRC beds and placement capacity for 150 residents in the HC program within a 150-mile radius of the facility. The Bureau invites feedback from community service providers regarding the feasibility of offering these services in the specified geographic area.
