Indefinite Delivery Contract 15BNAS23D00000045

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office awarded a $954,000 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to A Medical Corporation Ink Doctors, a for-profit organization, for tattoo removal services. This contract utilizes a total small business set-aside and has an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2028. Under this IDV, the contractor provides laser tattoo removal services at its facilities in Sacramento, California and Tavares, Florida, prioritizing inmates who are renouncing gang or terrorist affiliations, as well as those with prominently placed tattoos that could impact employment opportunities upon release. The contract supports the Bureau of Prisons' efforts to reduce societal stigma and help dissociate individuals from past criminal identities, recognizing that approximately 95% of inmates will eventually reenter society. Two related firm fixed price delivery orders, valued at $180,000 each, were also awarded to the contractor to provide tattoo removal services, with completion dates in 2024 and 2025.

The original solicitation, issued by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office, sought to procure tattoo removal services for federal inmates to support their rehabilitation and successful reintegration. The goal is to eliminate barriers to employment and reduce societal stigma for inmates, particularly those separating from gang or extremist affiliations, as well as those with prominently placed tattoos. The solicitation utilized a total small business set-aside, indicating the Bureau's intent to award the contract to a small business provider of tattoo removal services.
