About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons has awarded contract 15B50326P00000079 to Howard College for continued vocational training at FCI Big Springs on a sole-source basis, with an estimated value of $50,000.
The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), implemented by FAR Deviation 6.103-1, asserting that Howard College is the only responsible source capable of providing these services without delay and that awarding to this single source is necessary to prevent disruption to institution operations and inmate services. The incumbent contractor has agreed to continue services at rates consistent with its previous contract option, which were established under competitive conditions and determined fair and reasonable under FAR 15.404-1(b)(1). The Contracting Officer conducted market analysis by comparing current rates against historical prices for the same services. This interim acquisition through monthly firm-fixed-unit-price purchase orders will remain in effect pending competitive award of a new contract. The subsequent requirement will be publicly advertised via SAM.gov; once competitively awarded, the sole-source justification will no longer apply. Place of performance is FCI Big Springs, Big Springs, Texas. Michael Blaisdell, Contracting Officer at the BOP Field Acquisition Office, submitted the justification on May 6, 2026.
