Detention Services

The Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Swanton Sector Border Patrol is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential vendors capable of providing jail space services for detention purposes. Specifically, CBP is seeking a contractor who can supply up to 50 daily beds for male and female detainees, primarily on weekends and federal holidays. The facility must be located within a 60-mile radius of specified locations in New York and Vermont, and must offer comprehensive detention amenities including 24/7 access for Border Patrol personnel, office space for federal agents, in-house medical staff, and various support services. Interested vendors must submit their responses electronically via email to Contract Specialist Amoz Samuel by February 13, 2025, at 5:00 PM ET, with submissions accepted in MS Word or Adobe PDF format. All questions regarding the RFI must be submitted in writing and will be answered through addendums posted on SAM.gov.

The procurement is not designated with a specific set-aside, and is categorized under NAICS code 922140 for Correctional Institutions. The contract includes a 12-month base period from the award date through September 30, 2025, with potential for three additional 12-month option periods that could extend services through September 30, 2028. Payment will be processed within 30 days after service acceptance through the Invoice Processing Platform, with monthly invoices required that detail occupancy information and daily rates. While no specific award value is mentioned, the requirement for up to 50 daily beds suggests a substantial service commitment. The RFI explicitly states that this is an information-gathering process and does not constitute a guarantee of future contract award, and respondents will not be reimbursed for costs associated with preparing their submissions.
