The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to assess potential sources for Residential Reentry Center (RRC) and Home Confinement (HC) services for male and female offenders in Syracuse, New York, and surrounding counties. This initiative seeks to gather community input regarding the feasibility of such services, anticipating an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a guaranteed minimum and estimated maximum placements of 36 in-house and 17 home confinement residents, including provisions for sex offenders. Interested vendors are encouraged to respond to specific questions concerning their experience, local regulations, community sentiment, zoning issues, transportation options, and any unique laws that may affect service provision. Responses to this RFI, which does not commit the government to future contracts, must be submitted in PDF format by February 5, 2025. The BOP aims to enhance communication with potential service providers through this process while ensuring that respondents are aware that costs incurred during this response will not be reimbursed. Overall, the RFI is a strategic move to prepare for a potential solicitation that enhances reentry services for offenders in the targeted area.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is seeking information through a Request for Information (RFI) regarding upcoming solicitation for Residential Reentry Center (RRC) and Home Confinement (HC) services for offenders in Syracuse, New York. The Bureau aims to ascertain the availability of qualified service providers within a specific geographical radius that includes several counties.
The anticipated solicitation is expected to adopt an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract format, with a guaranteed minimum number of placements (36 in-house and 17 in-home confinement). Feedback is sought on feasibility, local concerns, potential ordinances affecting procurement, and transportation options for inmates.
Responses to the RFI will aid the BOP in refining its procurement approach but do not guarantee inclusion in future solicitations. Interested parties must submit responses by February 5, 2025, and are cautioned not to include unsolicited proposals or marketing materials. The document emphasizes the importance of marking proprietary information and clarifies that no compensation will be provided for the responses.
