About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Pekin issued a sole source justification notice on November 19, 2025, for inmate release bus transportation services at FCI Pekin, Illinois for Fiscal Year 2026. The procurement was awarded to Flix Bus North America under contract number 15B41126P00000012 on a non-competitive basis, with the estimated cost falling below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The justification for the sole source award cites Flix Bus North America as the only responsive vendor capable of meeting the government's specific transportation requirements for inmates being released from Bureau of Prisons custody, and the vendor's demonstrated success in providing these services during Fiscal Year 2025 supported the award decision. The contracting officer, Gary M. Kurtz, certified the justification on November 13, 2025, under statutory authority granted by 41 U.S.C. 253 and 41 U.S.C. 1901(e). While the exact contract value was not disclosed in the notice, the procurement falls within the motor charter transportation category (PSC V122). The memorandum indicates that Unit Management, Correctional Systems, and Contracting personnel will continue monitoring the marketplace for potential future competition, with a commitment to conducting competitive procurement for subsequent contract requirements if alternatives become available.
