FCI Three Rivers Television Services

The Federal Correctional Institution in Three Rivers, Texas is seeking to upgrade its existing satellite television services through a five-year contract. The Bureau of Prisons requires a contractor to provide satellite television services to 140 cable drops across the FCI and Satellite Prison Camp, including a 64-channel digital package comparable to local offerings. The contractor must maintain all headend equipment and respond on-site within 24 hours for any cable or internet issues, complying with all facility security protocols. Responses to the market research questionnaire are due by March 14, 2024 to assist in determining the appropriate procurement method.

The procurement has a partial small business set-aside designation. The anticipated NAICS code is 517110 for wired telecommunications carriers and the primary PSC code would be R499 for other telecommunications services. The incumbent contractor is unknown. The statement of work and questionnaire provide no estimated value, but the contract would provide services through 2029. Respondents are requested to provide pricing terms and confirmation of insurance, correctional experience, and System for Award Management registration in preparation for the future solicitation.
