About this opportunity
The Department of the Army has issued a Special Notice for a non-personal services contract to obtain American Correctional Association (ACA) reaccreditation for the Army Corrections Command (ACC). The contract covers facilities located at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas; Joint Base Lewis McCord, Washington; Europe; and Korea. The ACA is an organization dedicated to improving correctional agencies through a comprehensive accreditation process that certifies institutional compliance with established standards. This reaccreditation process involves an audit of ACC headquarters and multiple facilities to determine their eligibility for maintaining their initial accreditation status. The contract requires the contractor to provide all necessary personnel, equipment, supplies, and services to complete the reaccreditation assessment.
The primary objective of this contract is to conduct thorough audits of ACC facilities to ensure they meet ACA standards for correctional institutions. The contractor will be responsible for examining each facility's operations using ACA-approved standards, with audits scheduled between May 2025 and March 2027. Contractors must appoint qualified auditors, maintain strict confidentiality, and comply with extensive security protocols, including background checks and contraband restrictions. The scope of work includes both comprehensive audits and Performance Measures Visits at each facility, with specific standard requirements varying by location - some facilities will be evaluated using Adult Correctional Institutions standards, while others will follow Core Jail standards. The Special Notice indicates that the contract is a sole-source procurement, with a posted date of February 28, 2025, and a response deadline of March 31, 2025. Eligible contractors must be prepared to provide detailed documentation, conduct on-site examinations, and potentially perform orientation sessions as part of the reaccreditation process.
