Community Reentry Network

The Department of Justice, through the Federal Bureau of Prisons, is soliciting a firm-fixed-price, total small business set-aside contract to develop and maintain the Community Reentry Network (CRN). This electronic informational clearinghouse is designed to provide reentry referrals and mentoring support for inmates upon release by connecting them with faith-based organizations, including churches, mosques, temples, and community service organizations. The contractor is responsible for locating, vetting, and entering these resources into a Salesforce database, with a specific requirement to add at least 750 new faith-based organizations per month in underserved areas, such as rural locations, Guam, and Puerto Rico. The scope also includes annual reverification of resources, production of SCORM-compliant content, and the execution of a strategy for faith-based reentry conventions. The contract is structured as an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) award consisting of a 12-month base period, four 12-month option periods, and a final 6-month extension, for a total potential duration of 66 months. Proposals are due by 12:00 noon EST on September 14, 2026. Award selection will be based on a best value tradeoff process where non-price technical factors are significantly more important than price. Key evaluation criteria include organizational experience with non-profit reentry services, team language proficiency, faith tradition diversity, and specific outreach strategies for Hispanic and Native American communities. Additionally, the contractor must ensure at least four team members can pass federal background checks and adhere to strict DOJ cybersecurity and privacy training requirements.
