High-Security Extraditable Unit (PAS Picota) Strenghtening Project - construction and remodeling

The contract involves the construction and remodeling of a high-security unit within La Picota Prison in Bogota to support specialized prison investigations, with a focus on the extradition wing. The project will deploy advanced technological equipment, infrastructure upgrades, and specialized transport vehicles to establish and sustain a CNP Unit fully equipped for high-risk operations. This unit will operate in close coordination with the U.S. Marshals, leveraging their expertise to enhance the efficiency, security, and effectiveness of extradition-related investigations. The scope emphasizes building a dedicated facility capable of handling the unique challenges associated with detaining and transferring extraditable individuals under maximum security conditions. The initiative is led by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs under the U.S. Department of State, reflecting its alignment with broader international law enforcement and drug control objectives. The place of performance is confirmed as Bogota, Colombia, and the North American Industry Classification System code 236220 indicates the work falls under commercial and institutional building construction. Point of contact for inquiries is Jamillah Timmons, with additional support available through the Small Business Specialist Tyler Sinclair, though no set-aside provisions or solicitation numbers are currently available. This forecast signals a planned investment in strengthening Colombia’s capacity to manage high-profile extraditions through enhanced physical and operational infrastructure.
