FCI ESTILL - Asphalt Supply & Coordinated Delivery

The Federal Bureau of Prisons Field Acquisition Office intends to solicit a single commercial vendor to supply and coordinate delivery of asphalt materials and logistics support for a large-scale internal paving project at FCI Estill, South Carolina, with a sources-sought response deadline of August 11, 2026. This is a firm-fixed-price procurement under FAR Parts 12 and 15; no set-aside applies.

The vendor must supply approximately 10,000 tons of SCDOT-compliant Surface Type C RAP hot batch asphalt (arriving at 270°F to 325°F) and 14,000 gallons of AASHTO MP 36-18 certified tack coat emulsion to support an FBOP-supervised inmate labor crew resurfacing 732,528 square feet of roadway and surface area. The vendor must maintain a dedicated fleet of tandem, tri-axle, and quad-axle dump trucks capable of delivering 1,000 to 1,500 tons per day over seven consecutive days, provide a certified tanker spray truck and operator to apply tack coat at approximately 100,000 square feet per day, and deploy a fulltime onsite Logistics Coordinator/Quality Control Specialist to manage truck pacing, load inspection, and real-time coordination with the FBOP project monitor. Work is performed at FCI Estill and is constrained to institutional hours of 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM.

The vendor retains full financial risk and responsibility for all materials until acceptance at the facility. All personnel must comply with strict federal prison security procedures, including vehicle searches, restricted attire, no mobile devices, and gate delays without claiming additional fees. Any loads arriving outside temperature thresholds or cooling below 175°F are rejected at vendor expense. The project timeline is 15 days to completion, though vendors may propose alternative schedules. Prospective vendors should indicate their capability, proposed subcontracting levels, proposal preparation timeline, mobilization capability following security clearance investigation (approximately 21 days), and firm details including name, address, UEI, point of contact, telephone, and email to abradley1@bop.gov.
