Indefinite Delivery Contract 15B11820D00000006

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons United States Penitentiary Big Sandy awarded an indefinite delivery contract to Paintsville Utilities Commission for sewage services in support of prison operations. Over the course of multiple firm fixed price delivery orders issued between 2020-2030 valued at approximately $7.8 million, Paintsville Utilities will provide wastewater collection and treatment services to the federal penitentiary facilities located in Paintsville and Inez, Kentucky. No set-aside provisions were applied under the contract or associated task orders. Paintsville Utilities, doing business as Paintsville Utilities and a subsidiary of County of Johnson, will perform sewage-related work at the specified locations through the period of performance. The original solicitation sought utility services to support the Bureau of Prisons' mission of operating federal correctional institutions in a safe, secure and humane manner. The contracted sewage services are therefore intended to maintain necessary wastewater infrastructure for the incarcerated population at the two identified prison sites.

The Bureau of Prisons exercises its authority to confine offenders in penal and correctional facilities under the Department of Justice. Through multiple delivery orders awarded between 2020 and the present against the indefinite delivery contract vehicle, the agency has procured ongoing sewage services from Paintsville Utilities valued collectively at over $7.8 million. The services provide for proper sanitation and environmental compliance at federal penitentiaries in Paintsville and Inez, Kentucky housing approximately 1,200 and 1,300 inmates respectively. No special contracting provisions such as set-asides were applied under the contract or individual orders.
