About this opportunity
The United States Penitentiary Canaan, under the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, is soliciting quotes for the supply and installation of closed-cell spray foam insulation throughout specified warehouse areas. The solicitation (15B21526Q00000004) requires contractors to install approximately 12,000 square feet of insulation achieving R-23 value for walls and R-38 value for ceilings, along with an approved liquid-applied intumescent/fire-retardant coating. Key requirements include manufacturer certification, submission of a comprehensive safety plan, strict adherence to federal prison security protocols, and completion of a criminal history background check through the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) prior to site access. Award will be determined based on best value considering three evaluation factors: price (fair and reasonable), past performance (with preference given to vendors demonstrating high performance records and no history of delivery failures or quality issues), and lead/delivery time (preference for vendors accommodating the agency's core dates and flexible time requirements). The deadline for quote submission is January 19, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST, with questions regarding the solicitation due by January 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM to Contract Specialist Chris Ficken.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238310 (Drywall and Insulation Contractors) with a size standard of $19 million.
