High-Security Extraditable Unit (PAS Picota) Strenghtening Project - advanced technological and security equipment

The contract supports the enhancement of a specialized unit within La Picota Prison in Bogota, focused on extradition operations, through the provision of advanced technological equipment, infrastructure upgrades, and specialized transport vehicles. This unit, known as the High-Security Extraditable Unit (PAS Picota), will operate under the guidance of the US Marshals and is designed to improve the capacity to manage, monitor, and transport high-risk extraditable inmates. The project aims to strengthen security protocols and operational efficiency in a facility critical to international law enforcement cooperation, particularly in cases involving transnational crime and drug trafficking. All equipment and infrastructure improvements will be tailored to meet stringent high-security standards required for handling individuals subject to extradition proceedings. Funded by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs under the U.S. Department of State, the initiative falls under NAICS code 561621, reflecting its focus on investigation and security services. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Jamillah Timmons, with additional support available through the Small Business Specialist Tyler Sinclair. The place of performance is firmly anchored in Bogota, Colombia, indicating that all equipment and training must be implemented on-site to align with local operational requirements and legal constraints. While the solicitation number and exact funding timeline are not specified, the forecast nature of the document signals an upcoming procurement process intended to secure long-term capacity building for Colombia’s justice and security infrastructure in partnership with U.S. law enforcement agencies.
