How to respond to the FCC Hazelton medical services notice for the Bureau of Prisons

What the Bureau of Prisons is seeking

The Federal Bureau of Prisons is gathering information from vendors that could provide comprehensive medical services for federal inmates at FCC Hazelton in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia. Possible service categories include inpatient and outpatient care, physician services, long-term acute care, telehealth, and on-site medical services.

This is a sources sought notice, not a solicitation. The agency may develop a Request for Proposal, but a contract may or may not result. The anticipated contract period is a 12-month base year with four 12-month renewal options.

Deadline and what it means

Responses to the Sources Sought Questionnaire are due November 3, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. The notice does not provide a later submission window, so plan to submit before the deadline.

This response is voluntary market research, not a proposal for an available contract. The agency says it will not reimburse the cost of preparing information.

Who this opportunity may suit

This notice is relevant to healthcare firms capable of providing one or more of the medical service categories identified for FCC Hazelton. The listed NAICS code is 622110, General Medical and Surgical Hospitals, with a $47 million size standard.

How to access and respond

Use the opportunity portal’s “View original source” option to open the notice. If the first click opens the portal homepage, click it again to reach the bid. A free account may be needed to view documents, though many opportunities do not require one.

Complete the Sources Sought Questionnaire and submit it, along with any additional questions about the potential solicitation, by email to Jefferson Gregory at [email protected]. The notice says future acquisition information, including any solicitation or amendments, will be distributed through SAM. Contractors doing business with the federal government must be registered in SAM.

Prepare a useful response

Answer the questionnaire directly and describe which listed service categories your firm can provide. Keep claims specific and supported by information about your organization’s relevant capabilities.

Check the notice and questionnaire for the requested response format and information. Allow time to review the completed response and send it before the deadline, then monitor SAM for updates to the potential acquisition.
