The Department of the Army’s Mission Installation Contracting Command (MICC) at Joint Base Lewis‑McChord is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice (Solicitation W911S826Q1BMA) to gauge market interest for an indefinite‑delivery, requirements‑type contract that will provide education and vocational‑training services to inmates at the Northwestern Joint Regional Correctional Facility (NWJRCF). The award, anticipated to begin with a phase‑in period in August 2026, will be a base‑year contract with up to four one‑year options and firm‑fixed unit prices. Contractors must supply qualified instructors and state‑approved curricula that enable prisoners to earn certifications, degrees, or licensure and support their post‑release employment. Offerors are asked to submit a ≤5‑page capabilities statement, a completed Market Survey Questionnaire, and information on pricing, commercial availability, and potential subcontracting, joint‑venture, or teaming arrangements. Responses should also include recommendations to improve the Army Performance Work Statement, identify any unnecessary competition restrictions, and suggest structuring options to facilitate small‑business participation. All small businesses—including 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, HUBZone, and Small Disadvantaged firms—are encouraged to respond. Submissions are due by 12:00 PM PDT on 6 May 2026 via email to Contract Specialist Eric Harris (eric.g.harris.civ@army.mil); telephone inquiries will not be accepted.
