RFB-150-26 Re-Ad of RFB-90-26 DJJ Security Door Modification

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Juvenile Justice is seeking bids for RFB-150-26, a re-advertisement of RFB-90-26 for security door modifications at the DJJ-Adair Regional Detention Center located in Columbia, Kentucky. The procurement is a Request for Bid (RFB) focused on replacing selected doors and adding new tray slots in existing doors within dormitory units and intake areas. Bid submissions are exclusively accepted through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system, with a strict deadline of December 10, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Bidders must obtain project plans and specifications from the State of Kentucky Plan Room website at no charge, and must register in the Vendor Self Service (VSS) system prior to submission, allowing 24-48 hours for account activation. All procurement questions should be directed to Purchasing Agent Susan Ward at (502) 226-0335 or Susan.Ward@ky.gov, with additional project contacts including Architect Cheryl Kersey, Project Manager Tony Yates, and Agency Representative Roberta McCann. A public bid reading will be conducted via conference call on the bid opening date at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time, with results subsequently posted to the State of Kentucky Plan Room website.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. There were no mentions of incumbent vendors, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or specific integration mandates with existing infrastructure. While the exact budget range was not specified, bidders are instructed to enter $0.00 as the contract amount in the eProcurement system, with the actual contract amount to be entered on the Official Bid Document. Contractors obtaining plans from sources other than the official plan room will not be registered as planholders and will not receive potential addenda. The project involves security modifications for a juvenile detention facility, suggesting potential value for construction and security system contractors with experience in institutional renovation and security infrastructure.
