Second Chance Act Goods and Services

The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, through the AOUSC-Procurement Management Division, is preparing to procure goods and services under the Second Chance Act for federal defendants and persons under supervision. This pre-solicitation, identified by solicitation number Second-Chance-Act-2026-2027, involves the establishment of Blanket Purchase Agreements to provide various forms of support. While the primary classification is NAICS 624310 Vocational Rehabilitation Services and PSC Q528, the scope may also include NAICS 624229 Other Community Housing Services. Anticipated requirements encompass cognitive behavioral therapy, child-care, non-emergency medical services, computer hardware and software, personal identification, employment tools or licensure, transportation, transitional housing, domestic violence intervention, and job training.

The federal Judiciary intends to issue solicitations for these agreements across the United States and its territories, including Alaska, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Although procurement typically occurs during the summer months, it may take place at any time based on specific district needs. Vendors seeking to be included on mailing lists for these solicitations are directed to coordinate with the Chief Probation or Pretrial Services Officer in their respective districts. There is no set-aside designated for this requirement, and the current response deadline is May 15, 2027. Ryan Sharp is the designated point of contact for this notice, which lists the Washington Navy Yard, DC, as a primary place of performance.
