Potential contractors must demonstrate experience operating RRCs and home confinement programs, address state and local regulatory compliance, confirm facility feasibility and zoning appropriateness, and provide job placement capabilities within 30 days of resident placement.

Responses to the RFI must be submitted in PDF format to Joseph Woodley and Laurence Faytaren by 2:00 p.m. EDT on May 18, 2026, with technical questions due by May 1, 2026, and answers posted on SAM.gov by May 8, 2026.

This procurement includes no set-aside designations and involves no identified current contractors. The anticipated contract will be structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement with tiered pricing covering an estimated maximum of 20 in-house placements (18 male and 2 female) and 8 home confinement placements, with the home confinement service radius extending within 100 miles of the RRC facility. Specific budget or award values are not disclosed in the RFI, as this is an information-gathering phase prior to formal solicitation. The contractor must provide 24/7 supervised residential operations with comprehensive programming including case management, employment assistance, and substance abuse treatment coordination, along with electronic monitoring for home confinement residents.
