The Department of Justice, specifically the Federal Bureau of Prisons, is planning to issue a solicitation for a firm-fixed-price construction contract to construct a new freezer and cooler building at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI Fort Dix) in New Jersey. The project entails providing all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to build an exterior walk-in freezer and cooler adjacent to the Food Service Warehouse Building 5754, with a performance period of 182 calendar days from the notice to proceed. This construction is crucial for enhancing the facility's food storage capabilities, and the estimated project value is between $500,000 and $1 million. Interested small businesses must be registered in SAM.gov and can expect the solicitation to be available around November 8, 2024; for further inquiries, they can contact Joshua Cortez at j2xcortez@bop.gov or by phone at 202-598-6039.
