How to bid on Wisconsin Residential Reentry Center and Home Confinement Services for the Bureau of Prisons

What the agency is buying

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is looking for a single provider to offer residential reentry center (RRC) beds and home confinement placements. These services are for male and female federal offenders in Rock, Dane, Green, or Jefferson County, Wisconsin. The home confinement radius extends within 200 miles of the RRC facility.

The contract will be a Firm-Fixed Price/IDIQ type, with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. It includes a guaranteed minimum of 20 RRC beds (18 male, 2 female) and an estimated maximum of 50 beds (45 male, 5 female). For home confinement, there's a guaranteed minimum of 12 placements and an estimated maximum of 30 placements for both male and female offenders. The BOP intends to award both services to one provider due to their interconnected nature.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

The Request for Proposal (RFP) is expected to be available on or about July 27, 2026. The estimated closing date for proposals is around September 23, 2026, at 2:00 AM ET.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response

Carefully review the Federal Bureau of Prisons Statement of Work (SOW) entitled “Residential Reentry Center, March, 2022”. Ensure your proposal clearly demonstrates your ability to meet all requirements for both RRC beds and home confinement placements, including the specific definitions and additional requirements referenced throughout the SOW.

Highlight your experience in providing similar services for federal offenders. Since the government intends to award both line items to a single provider, emphasize your integrated approach to programming and case management for offenders across both RRC and home confinement services. Ensure your proposed facility and home confinement radius comply with the specified geographic requirements in Wisconsin.
