Audit and Accreditation Services for Mexican Correctional Facilities

The contract seeks to perform up to 40 audits of Mexican correctional facilities to evaluate conditions, operations, and compliance with international standards, aiming to support rehabilitation, safety, and institutional integrity within Mexico’s prison system. These audits will be conducted under the auspices of the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs within the U.S. Department of State, targeting improvements in detention practices and alignment with best practices in criminal justice management. The work will involve on-site assessments by qualified personnel and may include reviewing security protocols, healthcare services, inmate treatment, and administrative procedures across various facilities throughout Mexico. The contract is classified under NAICS code 611430, indicating it relates to educational and training services for corrections and detention, suggesting a focus on capacity-building and systemic reform rather than purely inspection-based evaluations. While no solicitation number or set-aside details are provided, the point of contact for program inquiries is Jamillah Timmons at timmonsj@state.gov, and Tyler Sinclair serves as the Small Business Specialist for contractor outreach. The contract is currently listed as a forecast, indicating it is in the planning stage with potential future release of a formal solicitation. Performance will take place within Mexico, and interested parties should monitor official State Department procurement channels for updates on formal bidding opportunities.
