Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 16, 2026.
- Serious: Facility must be in Harrisburg city limits. You need a building site inside Harrisburg, PA, before you can offer, plus a way to place people on home confinement within 120 miles.
- Serious: One provider for both services. The Government intends to award in-house beds and home confinement to a single provider, so you must be able to do both.
- Worth checking: Solicitation date and response date are estimates. The RFP is expected on or about November 16, 2026, and the response date is only estimated; watch SAM.gov for the real dates.
