About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Pekin has awarded a sole-source contract to Thermal Mechanical Systems Inc. for replacement of failed coolers and freezers in the Food Service area, with a total award of $282,604.00.
The justification cites FAR 6.103-2(b), unusual and compelling urgency. The coolers and freezers experienced catastrophic failure due to age and condition, making repairs impossible and resulting in loss of perishable food and the need to store food in unsuitable alternate locations. Market research determined that due to the proprietary nature of the software and monitoring system updates required, Thermal Mechanical Systems Inc. is the only responsible vendor capable of providing this service; no other vendors in the area expressed interest in the requirement.
A prior solicitation issued October 7, 2025 (Solicitation 15B41125B00000001) resulted in two responsive offers significantly exceeding the original estimate: Brown Point Facility Management at $487,323.00 and Accord Federal Services at $1,277,895.50. A Notice of No Award was posted January 29, 2026. The Contracting Officer determined the awarded price of $282,604.00 to be fair and reasonable based on a revised Independent Government Estimate of $365,049.87 from FCI Pekin Facilities Department. Place of performance is Federal Correctional Institution Pekin, Illinois. The contract number is 15B41126C00000145. NAICS code 238220, PSC Z2FF. The Contracting Officer certification was signed August 20, 2026.
