About this opportunity
The Department of Justice's Federal Bureau of Prisons, through Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City, Mississippi, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to FlixBus North America for Fiscal Year 2027 commercial bus transportation services, with capability statements due by 4:00 PM EST on November 18, 2026. No set-aside is used, and the notice states it is not a request for competitive proposals. The notice cites FAR 6.103-5(c)(1) (only one responsible source) and FAR 7.201(f) (commercial-preference hierarchy) as authority.
The requirement covers scheduled commercial passenger bus routing and operational transit network solutions to and from FCC Yazoo City. The agency states FlixBus is the only provider with the pre-existing commercial transit network, fleet infrastructure, and scheduling nodes to meet its requirements without custom route configurations. The notice asserts that alternatives would require custom, non-commercial service setups, duplicating costs and causing unacceptable operational delays.
Interested firms must demonstrate an identical, off-the-shelf commercial transit network and infrastructure capable of fulfilling the requirement. Submissions go by email to the Contracting Officer at c3tate@bop.gov. The government will use responses solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, and any decision not to compete rests within its discretion. The procurement is coded NAICS 485113 and PSC V119.
