Intent to Sole Source - Educational Textbooks and Materials - FCC Yazoo City
Solicitation # 15B31526PR000277
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.
