The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons is forecasting a recompete for Residential Reentry Center (RRC) and Home Confinement Services in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The contract will provide integrated programming, case management, and transitional housing services to facilitate the successful reintegration of federal offenders from incarceration back into community living. The solicitation is estimated to be released on January 1, 2026, with an award anticipated by July 1, 2026.

The estimated award value ranges from $20,000,001 to $25,000,000 for this Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract structured as a firm-fixed-price award with a base period plus four one-year option periods. The facility will operate a 65-bed transitional housing center and provide home detention monitoring services for up to 37 federal offenders, with home confinement placements extending within a 100-mile radius of the Chattanooga facility. Inquiries should be directed to Mary Bloom at mbloom@bop.gov or the Small Business Program mailbox at bop-adm-smallbusinessprogram-s@bop.gov.

The existing award being recompeted is Indefinite Delivery Contract 15BRRC21D00000241, currently held by The Salvation Army (Southern Territorial Headquarters), which was awarded on May 1, 2021, with a ceiling value of $22,355,524.33 and an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2026. Since award, the Bureau of Prisons has issued eight delivery orders against the contract, ranging from approximately $1.36 million to $3.63 million, demonstrating sustained federal reliance on the incumbent's established infrastructure and expertise in offender reentry services. The recompete will maintain the same service scope and geographic location while offering the opportunity for new contractors to compete for this critical criminal justice rehabilitation program.
