Purchase Order 15B20926P00000008

The U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons awarded a firm fixed price purchase order to Bradford City Water Authority for domestic water services at the Federal Correctional Institution McKean located in Lewis Run, Pennsylvania. The contract, awarded on October 1, 2025, carries a ceiling value of $104,221.52 and extends through September 30, 2026. No set-aside designation was used for this procurement. Bradford City Water Authority, a local government-owned utility based in Bradford, Pennsylvania, is responsible for supplying and delivering potable water to the federal correctional facility as part of the essential utility infrastructure supporting prison operations.

This award represents a continuation of an established vendor relationship, with Bradford City Water Authority having provided annual domestic water services to FCI McKean through successive purchase order contracts since fiscal year 2022. The water authority's consistent performance in supplying critical infrastructure services to this federal facility demonstrates the vendor's reliability and compliance with the Bureau of Prisons' operational requirements. The recurring nature of these annual contracts—which have ranged from approximately $68,000 to $369,000 in ceiling value across previous fiscal years—underscores the significance of water utility services to the day-to-day functioning of the correctional institution.
