The Federal Bureau of Prisons is conducting a market‑research (Sources Sought) effort for a future indefinite‑delivery, firm‑fixed‑price contract to provide vocational HVAC training to inmates at Federal Correctional Institution Danbury, CT. The contract will be awarded to a post‑secondary or vocational school that can deliver a curriculum leading to a certificate or associate degree and qualify inmates for entry‑level HVAC employment.

The provider must supply instructors, curriculum, textbooks, and coordinate hands‑on training using the institution’s HVAC equipment. The program must not exceed 30 students at any time and must deliver at least 1,763 instructional hours (sessions).
