Bureau of Prisons - Acute Care, LTAC, and Skilled Nursing

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), operating under the Department of Justice, is seeking contracted medical bed services for incarcerated individuals, specifically acute care, long-term acute care, and skilled nursing facilities. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued for market research and planning purposes only, and no contract will be directly awarded from this announcement. Respondents must address three primary information areas: proposing a full-service correctional acute care plan with identified locations across the continental United States; presenting flexible pricing structures such as bundled pricing, case rates, DRG-based, per diem, or value-based approaches with cost savings analysis; and detailing business experience and feasibility for a regionalized coverage model utilizing three centralized hubs (Cincinnati/Louisville, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Fresno/Bakersfield) alongside dedicated standalone locations in Brooklyn, San Diego, Los Angeles, Houston, Honolulu, Miami, Philadelphia, and Seattle. Submissions must be provided electronically in PDF format, limited to 20 pages and 14MB, and include company identification information such as UEI, CAGE code, NAICS classification, and primary point of contact. The response deadline is June 1, 2026, with submissions directed to Jacques Richard at j1richard@bop.gov.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation, and the RFI document does not identify any current contractors or incumbents. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as the RFI is exploratory in nature and the Government has made no commitment to proceed with a subsequent formal procurement. The opportunity is classified under NAICS 622110 (General Medical and Surgical Hospitals) and PSC Q201 (Medical-Managed Healthcare), indicating the Government's interest in established healthcare providers with relevant medical facility experience. Respondents should note that the Government will not provide compensation for information submitted, and all submissions may be subject to Freedom of Information Act disclosure. The flexibility regarding Medicare reimbursement and CMS participation requirements suggests the BOP is open to various operational and financial models from qualified healthcare providers.
