Are you familiar with and does your company qualify for any of the programs identified under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 19? If yes, please explain. For example, what is the size (small, large, non-profit, etc.) and status (8a, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, Small Disadvantaged Business, woman-owned, etc.) of your organization? 2. What experience do you have in providing residential reentry services? 3. Are there any other Residential Reentry Center (RRC) facilities in the area? 4. Are there any state or local ordinances/restrictions that would prohibit or that would considerably slow down the procurement process (i.e. building permits or leasing/rental agreements)? 5. Are there any known local area concerns? Do you think the area would be supportive of a BOP RRC program? Are there any known groups or organizations that would oppose the operation of a residential (halfway) house in this area? 6. Are there environmental issues/concerns in the area? 7. Are there HUBZone locations in the area? 8. Do you feel that it would be difficult to find a suitable location in this area? If so, explain in detail why it would be difficult and provide supporting documentation. 9. What percentage of the work would you do with your firm's employees and what percentage of the work would you subcontract? If subcontracting opportunities are available, do you anticipate any difficulties in subcontracting with 8(a), small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran owned small business, or women-owned small business concerns? 10. Are there any zoning issues that would prohibit or slow down the procurement process? 11. Is local or public transportation available in this area? If not, is there an alternative method of transportation for inmates to get to and from work or to get to and from their programming appointments? 12. Is the location listed conducive of the BOP requirement for inmates finding jobs within twenty-one (21) calendar days of placement? 13.
