Razor Wire FCI McKean Project# 25Z2AD5

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Field Acquisition Office is seeking to procure specialized barbed wire (razor wire) for the FCI McKean facility in Pennsylvania through a pre-solicitation notice. The procurement will involve two specific types of barbed tape: Type A and Type B, with detailed technical specifications for stainless steel wire reinforced perimeter fencing materials. Key contract requirements include compliance with ASTM material standards, specific dimensional tolerances, and precise structural characteristics for concertina coil configurations. Interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and have the capability to meet the technical specifications outlined in the Statement of Specifications. The market research questionnaire indicates that responses must be submitted via email to t8johnson@bop.gov by April 15, 2025, with a potential solicitation timeline ranging from 15 to 45 days for proposal preparation.

The contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, specifically targeting small business categories including 8(a) Program, Women-Owned, HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business entities. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 332618 establishes the small business size standard at 500 employees, which will be used to determine vendor eligibility. The procurement will follow Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 procedures for commercial items and will incorporate specific Department of Justice clauses related to personnel and information system security. While specific award values are not detailed in the pre-solicitation documents, the solicitation indicates an all-or-none contract award approach. The technical specifications call for precise wire configurations, including 750 mm diameter coils, 0.64 mm thick material, and a standardized 12.20 meters (40 feet) length for the razor wire installation at the correctional facility.
