Cooper III, (214) 905-5390 E-MAIL: In lieu of FAX or Mail, Firms may send material via e-mail to the address shown above., acdadm@airmaol.net. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has a requirement for long term temporary residential care and secure detention of undocumented aliens who are being detained pursuant to violations of the Immigration Laws of the U.S. Many of the aliens to be detained may have substantial and varied criminal histories. INS currently has immediate requirements for approximately 1000 new detainee beds (for both male and female), to be located in one or more suitable facilities in Texas and New Mexico. These beds would be in addition to those presently in use at either 1) INS owned facilities in the area, and 2) other facilities currently providing required services to INS. INS intends to contract with one or more firms that can begin providing suitable services within the next thirty to sixty days. Ideally, INS would only be interested in facilities that could handle 50 or more INS detainees at a time. The successful contractor(s) shall provide all necessary management, labor, supervision, equipment and material in order to provide, operate and maintain the facility(s), and provide the required services for the detainees. Interested concerns are requested to submit brief capability statements to this office immediately, to include information as to available facilities and respective capacities available for detention of INS' detainees, proximity to major highways, description of and proximity to airports capable of handling DC-9/MD-80 and/or B-727 (or similar) jet transport aircraft, and points of contact. The statements should also address the availability of office space at the facilities to accommodate INS staff and video-conferencing equipment. This request is not a solicitation and is not a request for offers/bids. Firms are requested to forward their submissions via facsimile to #214-767-7458 or to the address shown above. (0132)
