How to bid on Collin County reentry services for the Federal Bureau of Prisons
What the BOP is buying
The Federal Bureau of Prisons is seeking one provider for residential reentry center (RRC) beds and home confinement services for male and female federal offenders in Collin County, Texas.
The estimated maximum is 40 RRC beds—30 for men and 10 for women—and 50 home confinement placements per year. The contract is planned to have a one-year base period and four one-year options. The BOP intends to award both service lines to one provider because the services are interconnected.
Dates and what the deadline means
The notice was published October 1, 2026. The RFI deadline is October 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET. The notice says the RFP is expected after November 1, 2026, with proposals estimated due 60 days after the RFP is issued.
The October 30 deadline is for the RFI, not the later proposal deadline. The RFP will have its own closing date. Monitor SAM.gov for its release and updates.
Who this opportunity may suit
This opportunity may suit a provider able to deliver both residential reentry center services and home confinement services for men and women. Home confinement placements must be within 100 miles of the facility.
Both service lines must follow the BOP’s March 2022 Residential Reentry Center Statement of Work. Home confinement requirements are in Chapter 10, with additional requirements elsewhere in the SOW.
How to access the opportunity
Use the portal’s “View original source” option to open the opportunity. If the first click takes you to the portal homepage, click it again to go to the bid. A free account may be needed to view documents, though many bids do not require one.
The RFP will be available exclusively on SAM.gov, with no hard copies. The notice says interested parties are responsible for monitoring that site for updates. It also says the agency will not accept telephone or written requests for the solicitation.
Prepare for the RFP
Review the March 2022 Statement of Work, especially Chapter 10 for home confinement, and map each requirement to your staffing, facilities, service delivery, and case management approach. Confirm that your proposed home confinement placements fit the stated 100-mile radius.
Plan how you would provide both service lines and address the estimated bed and placement capacities. When the RFP is released, follow its instructions for pricing, proposal format, required documents, questions, and submission timing; the notice describes firm fixed unit prices for all line items.
