About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for Solicitation 15BRRC26R00000009 regarding Residential Reentry Center (RRC) and Home Confinement (HC) services in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The solicitation is a recompete of the incumbent contract 15BRRC22D00000325, with the deadline for offerors to submit questions or requests for clarification set for 28 September 2026.
Regarding pricing structure, offerors should submit one fixed daily rate per Contract Line Item (CLIN) as shown in Section B of the solicitation, with tiered daily rates not required. The government references the historical award information available on SAM.gov for the previous contract to provide offerors with context regarding average daily population and utilization data for both RRC and Home Confinement services, as well as performance metrics including successful program completion, employment, housing, offender accountability, and successful community reentry outcomes. On operational requirements, the document clarifies that proof of a business license is not a Bureau of Prisons (BOP) requirement unless mandated by local or state ordinance; however, offerors must provide documentation demonstrating proper zoning and the right to operate an RRC facility. The Q&A defers specific questions regarding whether an operational facility is required at proposal submission versus prior to performance, as well as specific licensing, zoning, inspection, accreditation, and staffing requirements, to the solicitation document itself.

See 15BRRC22D00000325 on SAM.gov for historical award information.
Could you please confirm whether we must provide proof of license to do business at the time of proposal submission, or if we are permitted to provide this documentation after submission, but prior to award?
I am not aware of any requirement for a “license to do business” unless there is a local or state requirement for such a license.
If permitted, when is the proof of licensed to do business required post submission?
Proof of licensure is not a requirement of the BOP. While I’ve never seen a licensure requirement from a local or state ordinance, if one existed, documentation of appropriate licensure should be submitted with zoning documentation to ensure the appropriateness of the site.
Lastly, could you kindly point us to the specific section within the solicitation that outlines this requirement?
I am not aware of a section of the solicitation which requires licensure. We do require documentation showing the site has proper zoning/right to operate an RRC, but not necessarily licensure.
Must an offeror have an operational RRC facility within Pawtucket at the time of proposal submission, or may an offeror demonstrate site control and establish full operational readiness prior to the contract's required performance date?
Please refer to the Solicitation Document.
Additionally, are there specific licensing, zoning, inspection, accreditation, or staffing requirements that must be completed before proposal submission?
Please refer to the Solicitation Document.
