Quick Summary
The Department of Justice, Federal Prison System / Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the urgent acquisition and installation of an Emergency Hot Water Heater and Tank unit at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) in FCC Terre Haute, Indiana. This non-competitive action, valued at an estimated $39,632.00 for a 30-day rental agreement, addresses an immediate need to restore hot water services.
Scope of Requirement

Due to an emergency situation involving the loss of hot water at the facility and extended lead times for parts from vendors, a portable water heater/boiler was rented to provide temporary hot water services while permanent repairs and installation are arranged.

- Place of Performance: Terre Haute, IN.
- Published Date: February 20, 2026.

Justification
The non-competitive approach was necessitated by an emergency situation where the Facilities Department experienced a critical loss of hot water. Despite contacting multiple vendors, the extended lead times for necessary parts made a competitive solicitation impractical for the immediate need. The rental of a portable unit was a temporary measure to ensure essential services while a permanent solution is implemented. The justification includes a Contracting Officer's Certification.
