About this file
This is a Questions & Answers document for RFI 15BRRC25N00001011 regarding Mothers and Infants Together (MINT) services across 14 midwestern states, issued by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). The document addresses five key questions about facility requirements for potential contractors.
The BOP clarifies that contractors don't need to own a facility before contract award but must provide documentation proving right to use the proposed property (through deeds, leases, bills of sale, or options). Personal houses cannot be used as facilities, and contractors cannot operate in two adjacent states under one contract as this is a single-site contract. Regarding facility types, the BOP indicates that former community hospitals may be acceptable if they meet SOW requirements. The document also explains that RRC/MINT contracts are negotiated with minimum and maximum occupancy levels that can only be modified through formal contract modification.

Mothers and Infants Together (MINT) services within the States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee
1. Would the contractor need to have purchased a facility before he or she is given a contract to start this process?
BOP: Not necessarily, but the BOP does require official documentation demonstrating they have the right to the proposed property.
Acceptable evidence of right to use is limited to deeds, leases, bills of sale, options to lease, options to buy, contingency leases, or contingency deeds. Acceptable proof of right to use shall be submitted at the time of initial proposal submission.
2. Can a contractor use his or her personal house for placement of the individuals?
BOP: No.
3. Can a potential contractor open a halfway house in 2 separate states that are adjacent to each other? If so, would it be under one contract or 2 separate contracts?
BOP: No. This is a single site contract.
4. Can a potential contractor utilize or lease a community hospital that no longer is under licensure?
BOP: The Statement of Work contains detailed site requirements and required right of use documentation. If a location meets these requirements the site will be considered acceptable.
5. Can a potential contractor be able to add up to 12 individuals in the halfway house, if the contractor had room (s) to accommodate those individuals?
BOP: RRC/MINT contracts are negotiated considering a minimum occupancy and a maximum occupancy. This allows both the contractor and the government to appropriately plan and budget.
The contracted minimum and maximum will stand unless there is a renegotiation and modification to the contract.
