AI Contract Overview

Show more

The Department of Justice’s Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Correctional Complex in Yazoo City, Mississippi, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Paxen Publishing for proprietary inmate literacy and educational curriculum materials. The scope includes exclusive access to specific products such as TABE Tutor 11/12 test preparation modules, Steck-Vaughn Fundamental Skills instructional bundles, PreGED and GED test preparation sets in both English and Spanish print and digital formats, along with initial in-service training support for staff. These materials are required to maintain consistency with the facility’s existing academic tracking and testing infrastructure, where substitution with alternative curricula would disrupt operations and cause significant delays in inmate education progress. The sole-source justification is grounded in 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, as Paxen Publishing is the exclusive publisher, trademark holder, and authorized distributor of these specific curriculum systems, with no other entities holding legitimate distribution rights. While this is not a formal solicitation, interested parties may submit capability statements, technical documentation, and proof of authorized distribution rights to the designated contracting officer by August 15, 2026, to demonstrate their ability to provide the exact same materials. The government retains full discretion to determine whether to proceed with sole-source award or initiate competition in the future based on submissions.

Full Description

Description:
The Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) Yazoo City, Mississippi intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Paxen Publishing, located at 2194 Highway A1A, Suite 208, Indian Harbour Beach, FL 32937.



1. Scope of Requirement


This acquisition is for proprietary inmate literacy, basic educational training, and adult secondary education curriculum systems. The requested products will serve the complex's centralized Education Department and consist of the following authorized items:


  • TABE Tutor 11/12 Test Preparation Modules (Student & Teacher Layouts)
  • Steck-Vaughn Fundamental Skills Instructional Bundles
  • Steck-Vaughn PreGED Test Preparation Sets
  • Steck-Vaughn GED Test Preparation Materials (English and Spanish print editions, plus matching digital seat licensing formats)
  • Complementary initial in-service instructional implementation services


2. Regulatory Rationale


The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), implemented via FAR 6.302-1 ("Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements").


Paxen Publishing has certified that it functions as the exclusive publisher, trademark holder, and distribution point for these specific product families. No external commercial brokers, school supply entities, or secondary instructional warehouses hold wholesale rights or valid distribution agreements for these resources. Using alternative curriculum layouts would force a complete restructuring of the facility’s baseline testing tracking framework and cause unacceptable operational delays in inmate academic processing.



3. Submission of Capabilities Statements


This publication does not constitute a formal Request for Quotation (RFQ) or a Request for Proposal (RFP). No solicitation package will be posted openly. However, interested parties who believe they can legally provide these exact items may submit a detailed capability statement, technical data sheets, and official documentation proving authorized distribution rights.


All capability materials must be submitted electronically via email to C. Tate, Supervisory Contract Specialist, at contact@example.gov no later than August 15, 2026, by 8:00 AM CST. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future.

FCC Yazoo City FY 27 Grease Trap Maintenance and Cleaning
Solicitation # 09242026
Solicitation 09242026 is a Total Small Business Set-Aside for quarterly grease trap maintenance and cleaning services at the Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) Yazoo City for Fiscal Year 2027. The scope of work involves the professional evacuation, mechanical scraping, and hydro-flushing of 11 grease trap units with a total capacity of 47,500 gallons across four functional zones: Camp Zone, Low Security I, Low Security II, and the USP-Medium Facility. Services must be performed four times per fiscal year, with payment strictly contingent upon the submission of verifiable legal disposal manifests to the Complex Food Service Administrator. All personnel must pass NCIC background checks to obtain necessary security clearances, and the contractor must maintain general business liability insurance with minimum limits of 50,000 dollars per occurrence and 100,000 dollars aggregate. Amendment 0001 materially revises the licensing requirements to increase competition after it was determined that few small business primes held the necessary state credentials. While the original solicitation required the prime contractor to be licensed, the revised clause allows the prime or its subcontractors to satisfy the technical requirements. Specifically, the entity performing the work must hold an MSDH Certified Pumper License, Mississippi solid waste hauling permits, and MDEQ disposal authorization. Offerors relying on subcontractors must provide copies of these licenses and a signed letter of commitment. Due to these material changes, the solicitation has been reopened with a revised proposal submission deadline of November 6, 2026, at 12 Noon EST.
