Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source Blanket Purchase Agreement

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations in San Diego, is moving forward with a sole source blanket purchase agreement to address the urgent need for additional detainee housing space at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. This need arises from an increased influx of family units, necessitating the relocation of detainees to free up accommodation. Correctional Alternatives, Inc. (CAI) is uniquely positioned to fulfill this requirement, being the only vendor capable of providing detainee housing within the Port itself, with immediate availability and around-the-clock booking and discharging services. Local county facilities are at full capacity and cannot accept additional detainees, making CAI’s services critical. This procurement action is justified under Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 6.302-1, supported by statutory authority allowing non-competitive contracting due to the sole source nature of the requirement. The contract, managed by the Fletc Glynco Procurement Office from Georgia, will be performed in San Diego, California. The solicitation number is 20084188, and Tammie Crow is the designated point of contact for this agreement. This arrangement ensures efficient detainee management while optimizing space for family units at the border crossing.
