Delivery Order 15B11018D00000045-15B11026F00000022

The Federal Correctional Institution Manchester, a civilian facility under the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons, awarded a firm fixed-price delivery order contract valued at $55,800 to the City of Manchester, operating as Manchester Waterworks, with an award date and ultimate completion date of June 30, 2026. This delivery order was issued without set-aside designation and represents the third quarter fiscal year 2026 water services requirement for the federal facility. The contract covers essential utility infrastructure support, specifically potable water delivery and related services necessary for the correctional institution's ongoing operations and federal infrastructure compliance. Manchester Waterworks, a local government entity and municipal water utility provider registered in the System for Award Management since November 2006, has maintained a longstanding relationship with the Bureau of Prisons since at least 2019, serving as the primary infrastructure provider for the Manchester, Kentucky facility.

This award is part of a recurring pattern of quarterly and annual delivery order contracts issued against existing Bureau of Prisons contract vehicles, with Manchester Waterworks' historical contract values ranging from approximately $29,000 to $419,579. The municipality's critical role in providing water, wastewater treatment, and sewer services to federal correctional facilities reflects its position as the established local utility infrastructure provider for the region. Beyond its federal contracting activities, Manchester Waterworks has also received federal grant support, including a Community Facility Grant from the Rural Utilities Service and an Economic Development Initiative grant supporting broader community infrastructure and economic development initiatives, demonstrating its significance to local and federal infrastructure objectives.
