Residential Reentry Services Located Within the City Limits of Charlotte, NC and Home Confinement Radius Within 200 Miles of the RRC Facility

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to assess the availability of qualified providers for an upcoming solicitation for Residential Reentry Center (RRC) services and Home Confinement (HC) services in Charlotte, North Carolina. The procurement seeks to determine market capability and gather input from community service providers regarding the feasibility of delivering comprehensive reentry services for both male and female offenders held under various United States statutes. The future formal solicitation is anticipated to be structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with tiered pricing, requiring a single successful offeror to provide all services within a defined service area. The RFI was posted on December 22, 2025, with responses due by January 21, 2026, allowing potential bidders approximately one month to indicate their interest and capability. While specific evaluation criteria for the formal solicitation have not yet been detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, the government's primary objective at this RFI stage is to confirm sufficient qualified sources exist before proceeding with the full procurement.

No set-aside designations have been applied to this procurement, meaning it is open to all qualified entities. The anticipated requirement encompasses a maximum capacity of 77 in-house beds (67 for males and 10 for females) along with up to 55 home confinement placements, with the home confinement radius extending 200 miles from the facility located within Charlotte's city limits. The contract will include both a guaranteed minimum and an estimated maximum number of placements to establish pricing parameters. No information regarding current incumbents or specific award values has been disclosed in this RFI stage, as the primary goal is to solicit market interest and feasibility assessments before the formal solicitation is released. The associated government files, including the RRC Statement of Work from March 2022, contain detailed service requirements and specifications that prospective bidders should review to understand the full scope of expectations for this significant residential reentry services contract.
