Secure Juvenile Detention Services within the boundaries of the contiguous 48 states (excluding Alaska and Hawaii)

The Department of Justice, through the Federal Bureau of Prisons, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number 15BRRC26N00000014 to identify qualified sources for secure juvenile detention services. The potential future requirement is envisioned as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for male or female offenders located within the contiguous 48 states, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. The anticipated period of performance includes a one-year base period followed by four one-year option periods. The Bureau is considering two capacity options: one with a guaranteed minimum of 9 beds and a maximum of 15, and another with a guaranteed minimum of 6 beds and a maximum of 10. The RFI seeks information on vendor feasibility, zoning, legal restrictions, and the availability of specialized cultural and age-specific programming, particularly for Native American needs. Interested respondents must provide their Unique Entity ID, Tax-ID, DUNS number, and socio-economic status, such as Small Business, WOSB, or SDVOSB. All responses must be submitted in PDF format to Contracting Officer Laurence Faytaren by 2:00 p.m. EDT on October 26, 2026. This process is for market research and planning purposes only; it is not a formal request for proposals, and the government will not accept unsolicited offers or marketing materials at this time.
