PRIVATE SECURE CORRECTIONS REQUIREMENTS FORECAST The purpose of this Special Notice is for the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to provide industry with a forecast of future requirements for secure corrections services. This forecast identifies future requirements in addition to those described in Request for Proposals (RFP) PCC-0005, issued September 1, 1999. This notice is intended solely to provide interested parties with information for planning purposes and does NOT constitute a RFP. The BOP will issue a formal CBD notice with specific terms and conditions prior to the release of any RFP. The BOP anticipates continued growth in its need for contractor-owned and operated secure correctional facilities to house low security non-U.S. citizen criminal aliens. Beginning October 2000, the BOP anticipates establishing contracts for a population of approximately 500 female inmates and between 2,000 and 6,000 male inmates to be located within the geographic areas of: Arizona; California (Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernadino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, or Ventura counties); Texas, Oklahoma, and/or New Mexico. Also, a requirement for a population of approximately 1,500 male inmates to be located within the BOP's Southeast Region is anticipated. Due to the estimated quantity of the requirement and the varying areas in which these services are needed, multiple contract awards from a single RFP are anticipated. Provisions of such contracts may include but are not limited to: a fixed price contract with award-fee incentives; a minimum capacity of 1,000 inmates for male facilities; a maximum of 365 days from contract award to accept inmates; a three year base period and seven-one year options; a performance-based statement of work based generally on American Correctional Association standards; a management emphasis on contractor quality control. Interested parties should consider issues such as: state/local authority to operate a private prison; state/local authority to use force; opportunities to expedite facility activation; the ability to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. Interested parties requiring further information should contact Connie Tatko, Contracting Officer at (202) 616-1647. E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracting officer via, ctatko@bop.gov.
