FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS NOTICE FOR RESPONDING TO THIS OPPORTUNITY. The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP), North Central Regional Office (NCRO), anticipates the need for indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ), firm-fixed-price contracts for supplemental architect-engineer (A-E) services, with a one (1) year base requirement and up to four (4) unilaterally exercised option years. The Government is not obligated to exercise any of the option periods. While the Government anticipates multiple awards, no more than three (3) awards are expected. The services will be for various FBOP facilities in the North Central Region within the states of Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Given the close coordination needed between the successful firms, institutions, and the NCRO, consideration and selection of firms will be limited geographically to those within 100 miles of the North Central Regional Office in, Kansas City, KS. Firms are to perform services as required by the issuance of individual task orders. The guaranteed annual minimum amount of each contract is $10,000.00 and the estimated annual maximum is $7,500,000.
