About this file
This document is a Non-Competitive Memorandum for Simplified Acquisition Actions for the DOJ/Bureau of Prisons at FCI Pekin, IL. The document justifies a sole-source acquisition for inmate release transportation services, with Flix Bus North America identified as the only responsive vendor capable of meeting the government's requirements. The estimated cost of services for Fiscal Year 2026 will be under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), and the vendor has previously provided these services successfully in FY 2025.
The memorandum cites statutory authority under 41 U.S.C.253 and 41 U.S.C. 190l(e) for proceeding with a non-competitive acquisition. Unit Management, Correctional Systems, and Contracting personnel will continue to monitor the marketplace for potential competition, with a commitment to award future requirements competitively if opportunities arise. The contracting officer, Gary M. Kurtz, certified the justification as accurate and complete on 11/13/2025, with the intention of securing transportation services for inmates being released from Federal Bureau of Prisons custody.

5. DEMONSTRATION THAT THE PROPOSED CONTRACTOR'S UNIQUE
QUALIFICATIONS OR THE NATURE OF THE ACQUISTION REQUIRES
THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED
Market research revealed competition was not readily available for the scope of services required by FCI Pekin. The only responsive vendor able to meet the
Government’s requirement was Flix Bus North America. The estimated cost of services for FY 26 will be under the SAT. Flix Bus has provided the services requested successfully in FY 25, and the price is deemed fair and reasonable based on prices paid in the past for the same services.
6. DESRIPTION OF EFFORT MADE TO ENSURE THAT OFFERS ARE

Unit Management, Correctional Systems, and Contracting personnel will be responsible for monitoring the marketplace for inmate release services and should an opportunity for competition arise, future requirements will be awarded on a competitive basis.

I certify that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
