About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source from the Federal Bureau of Prisons for Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) Yazoo City, Mississippi. The agency intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole source contract for commercial long-distance bus transportation services in Fiscal Year 2027.

The NAICS code is 485113 (Bus and Other Motor Vehicle Transit Systems), and the Product Service Code is V119 (Transportation/Travel/Relocation- Transportation: Passenger Motor).

2. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT
The Federal Bureau of Prisons, Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) Yazoo City, intends to enter into a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract for commercial long-distance bus transportation services for Fiscal Year 2027.
The required services consist of scheduled passenger bus transit routing to and from FCC Yazoo City to facilitate critical operational transportation needs, official passenger movement, and regional transport connectivity.
3. SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION (FAR OVERHAUL COMPLIANCE)
The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is FAR 6.103-5(c)(1) (Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements).
In accordance with the mandatory commercial-preference hierarchy established under FAR 7.201(f), the agency must prioritize existing off-the-shelf commercial network footprints over customized solutions. FlixBus North America is the sole provider capable of meeting the government’s specific requirement due to its proprietary intercity network and established commercial routes passing directly through the immediate geographic footprint of Yazoo City, MS. No other commercial transit provider offers the specific route frequency, existing fleet capacity, and direct regional network nodes required to meet the operational timelines of FCC Yazoo City. Procurement from an alternative vendor would mandate a custom, non-commercial route approach, introducing substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable mission delays.
4. MARKET RESEARCH & RESPONSES
This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
Interested firms must demonstrate their capability to provide identical commercial intercity passenger route infrastructure to FCC Yazoo City and submit documentation by no later than November 18, 2026, at 4:00 PM
CDT.
