About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons' Federal Correctional Institution Marianna has awarded contract 15B30827P00000003 on a sole-source basis under a limited sources justification, with an award date of October 29, 2026, for a commercial-grade water softener system. The attached justification identifies Culligan as the only local source that can meet the required capacity and compatibility, provide certified technicians for installation and maintenance in the area, and supply local warranty coverage and timely repairs. It states that an out-of-area vendor would delay installation, extend downtime, weaken service response, and significantly raise costs. The system treats water for chillers, cooling towers, and hot water heaters to prevent mineral scale buildup. Facilities will periodically review the market and pursue competition if additional vendors become available.
Work is performed at the FCI Marianna Facilities Department, 3625 FCI Road, Marianna, Florida 32446. The notice carries a "No Set-Aside Used" designation and cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), Soliciting from a Single Source, as the contracting authority. The procurement is tied to Purchase Request 26Z3AM7 and classified under NAICS 238220 and PSC N045. The justification was signed by Newton S. Brock, Acting Facility Manager, on October 26, 2026, and by Kenneth Stewart, Contracting Specialist, on October 29, 2026.
