The Federal Bureau of
Prisons (BOP), Field Acquisition Office in Grand Prairie, Texas,
intends to make a
single contract award for the provision of mortuary services,
according to documents released Friday.
Mortuary services may
include, but is not limited to transportation, embalming, body
preparation, clothing, filing of certificates and permits, casket,
shipping, cremation, and burial services, the BOP said in contract
documents. “The services will be performed for female inmates
housed at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) located in
Aliceville, Ala., who become deceased during incarceration.”
The contractor will be
contacted by the contracting officer and notified of an inmate death.
The contracting officer will provide the contractor with the inmate’s
name and location of the body. Within two hours of notification, the
contractor will pick the body up at the location designated by the
Pickens County Coroner’s office. During non-business hours, the
contractor may be contacted by a Correctional Supervisor and advised
of an inmate’s death. The contractor will be notified if an autopsy
is required.
The government contemplates awarding an
indefinite-delivery/requirements-type contract with firm-fixed unit
prices resulting from the future solicitation. The contract period
shall consist of a 12 month base period with four 12 month option
periods for renewal.
Market research is being conducted to
determine interest and capability of potential sources for this
requirement. The response date for the market survey is Oct. 3.
