Razor Ribbon and Perimeter Security

The Federal Prison System, part of the Department of Justice, has issued a forecast for Razor Ribbon and Perimeter Security services, indicating an upcoming procurement opportunity to enhance physical security infrastructure across its nationwide facilities. The solicitation is set under NAICS code 561621, which covers security services, and is expected to involve the installation, maintenance, and potential upgrades of razor ribbon barriers and other perimeter security systems designed to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the safety and integrity of correctional institutions. The place of performance is nationwide, meaning contracts could be awarded for work at any Bureau of Prisons location across the United States. Point of contact for technical inquiries is Blaize Shrake, reachable at bshrake@bop.gov, while David Orrantia serves as the Small Business Specialist to assist prospective small business vendors with the procurement process. There is no set-aside designation specified, so the opportunity is open to all qualified contractors regardless of business size, though small businesses are encouraged to engage with the designated specialist. The forecast was posted on August 10, 2026, and while no formal solicitation number has been assigned yet, interested parties should monitor the official DOJ forecasting portal for updates and the eventual release of a formal Request for Proposal.
