The Federal Bureau of Prisons at FCI Marion, Illinois, wants a small business to repair tornado damage to a 3-phase overhead primary power distribution line and two transformers. The notice calls for all equipment, labor and materials, one award, and 90 calendar days of work after the notice to proceed. It is a 100% small business set-aside.
Watch out for
- Secure documents with limited access. The statement of work and solicitation are locked and only visible to SAM-registered vendors with an MPIN, so you cannot fully scope it until you get access.
All secure/locked documents uploaded, to include the solicitation, will require an active SAM vendor registration to obtain access.
- Background checks for site visit. Anyone attending the optional site visit needs NCIC background check forms submitted early and pre-approved, and questions cannot be asked on site.
Only individuals who have received prior approval will be permitted to enter the facility.
- Work inside a correctional facility. Security procedures at a prison may add time, cost and scheduling limits; details are in the solicitation, not this text.
- Emergency repair on a short clock. The title says emergency repair and the work must be done within 90 days of the notice to proceed, though the offer deadline is not until December 3, 2026.
