The contract is a firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity type, with a one-year base period and four one-year option years, plus a potential six-month extension. Pricing is tiered based on the Average Daily Population (ADP) for both RRC in-house beds and home confinement placements.

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for contractors operating Residential Reentry Centers (RRCs) for the Bureau of Prisons (BOP). It details administrative, organizational, and personnel standards, including staffing ratios, training, and background check procedures. The SOW emphasizes compliance with federal, state, and local laws, as well as BOP policies, particularly regarding resident supervision, safety, and rehabilitation programs.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) uses a Performance Summary Table to outline potential payment withholdings from contractors who fail to meet contract requirements. This table, authorized by the Inspection of Services Clause, details six main contract requirements: Safety/Security/Order, Resident Care/Services, Programs and Activities, Justice/Case Management, Administration/Management, and Quality Control. Each requirement is linked to specific vital functions and a corresponding percentage of the monthly invoice that may be withheld for non-performance, ranging from 0-30%. The BOP retains the discretion to withhold more than the specified amounts, aggregate withholdings for consistent non-compliance, and does not waive its right to withhold if other corrective actions are pursued first. The table serves as notice to the contractor and does not limit the BOP's discretion or modify the contract's obligations.

The checklist requires detailed information on the proposed project, site location, potential environmental impacts (e.g., water/air quality, hazardous materials, historical resources), and zoning. Certification of compliance with environmental laws and accuracy of provided information is mandatory, with failure to comply potentially leading to proposal disqualification. Part B of the checklist requires a detailed description of potential impacts for any affirmative responses in Part A.
