Amendment #1: Request For Information (RFI): Residential Reentry Center (RRC) and Home Confinement (HC) Services within the area of Albany, New York

The U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market intelligence for potential Residential Reentry Center (RRC) and Home Confinement (HC) services in the Albany, New York area. The anticipated procurement will be structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with tiered pricing to provide community-based correctional services for federal inmates transitioning back into society. Respondents must demonstrate experience with RRC and HC services, address local ordinance compliance, community support, facility location feasibility, transportation capabilities, and job market conditions within the service area. The Bureau requires providers to accept all types of offenders, including sex offenders, as part of their policy to provide community placement opportunities for all inmates regardless of offense type. Interested vendors must submit responses by September 29, 2025, answering eleven detailed questions and providing company contact information, socio-economic status, tax identification, and DUNS numbers. The RFI emphasizes this is an information-gathering exercise only and does not guarantee participation in future solicitations, with responses expected to be posted on SAM.gov around September 17, 2025.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and no information regarding current incumbents or contractors is provided in the documentation. The procurement targets a maximum capacity of 42 in-house placements, specifically allocated as 36 male and 6 female residents, along with 18 home confinement placements within a 200-mile radius of the facility. The geographical service area shows flexibility, with potential facility locations considered in Albany and surrounding counties based on provider responses and operational feasibility. No specific contract values or budget ranges are disclosed in the RFI documentation, as this information-gathering phase is designed to inform the Bureau's understanding of market capabilities and pricing structures. The Questions and Answers document indicates that detailed facility specifications, ownership requirements, and site control documentation will be addressed in future Request for Proposals based on the intelligence gathered from this RFI process.
