STATEMENT OF WORK

Blanket Purchase Agreement

Razor Ribbon and Perimeter Security

A. INTRODUCTION

The Federal Bureau of Prisons protects the American public by confining offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately secure, and that provide work and other self-improvement opportunities to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens. To achieve this goal, the Bureau of Prisons requires that the secure perimeter meet all specifications and guidelines for the security of each specific institution.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP), Facilities Management Branch located at 320 First St, NW in Washington D.C.

intends to make a single award to a responsible entity that will provide contracted supplies to replace and/or establish new Perimeter Security fence materials as well as Razor Ribbon and associated materials via a blanket purchase agreement (BPA). The vendor is responsible for all customer service, shipping, to all Bureau of Prisons institutions who make a purchase utilizing the BPA. All manufacturers’ recommendations will be required to be implemented.

This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract shall be a base year with 4 (four) additional option years.
