Residential Reentry Center Located Within the City limits of Raleigh, North Carolina. Home Confinement Radius is Within 200 miles of the Facility

The Department of Justice’s Residential Reentry - Co office has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking qualified sources for a forthcoming solicitation to operate a Residential Reentry Center (RRC) within the city limits of Raleigh, North Carolina, including home confinement placements for male and female offenders within a 200-mile radius of the facility. This RFI, identified by solicitation number 15BRRC26R00000016 and posted on April 27, 2026, is purely for market research purposes—to identify capable providers and gather input—rather than for award or formal proposals. Responses are due by May 28, 2026, and must be submitted by email to the designated contact at the Bureau of Prisons. The procurement aligns with NAICS code 623990, which covers residential mental health and substance abuse facilities, situating this as a correctional reentry service initiative under federal oversight. The scope requires the contractor to administer comprehensive residential reentry services that comply fully with BOP program statements, federal regulations on drug testing and safety standards, and industry best practices, including creation and enforcement of operational policies, staffing, emergency response planning, and resident supervision. Staffing mandates include designated key personnel such as Facility Director, Case Manager, and Employment Placement Specialist, all with specified qualifications and full-time commitment exclusively to the contract. Security requirements entail background checks and prior approvals for staff accessing sensitive resident information, as well as strict controls on media and public communications to mitigate conflicts of interest. The contractor must implement 24/7 operations supported by contingency plans for emergencies like pandemics or evacuations and maintain at least 70% direct employee labor on contract duties. Inspection and acceptance procedures will be enforced at the facility, with ongoing monitoring of compliance to life safety codes, sanitation, and program specifications. While no formal FAR contract clauses, evaluation factors, nor pricing details are currently established—reflecting the document’s pre-solicitation status—the RFI materials incorporate key operational and administrative expectations that will inform the upcoming solicitation.
