The offender must request transfer of jurisdiction through his/her Bureau of Prisons Case Manager. When the request is made by the case manager, the U.S. Probation Office will conduct an investigation to determine whether the offender may transfer and report its findings to the Bureau of Prisons. The transfer of jurisdiction may only occur with approval from the district that would receive and supervise the offender.

Individuals on supervision are required by the Court to abide by certain rules. These rules are called the conditions of supervision. They are basically the same whether the person is on probation, parole, military parole, mandatory release, or supervised release.

For a list of conditions, see the the standard conditions of probation.

Once released from custody, you are required to report to your assigned Probation Officer within 72 hours of release, which includes weekends and holidays. Please call (000) 000-000 between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM, for instructions on where to report. If you have been convicted in another district, please contact the U.S. Probation Office in the district in which you have been convicted.

Failure to report will constitute grounds for a violation of supervised release.

Presentence investigation occurs after a defendant enters a plea of guilty to a federal offense or is convicted by trial. During this phase, a probation officer interviews the defendant to gather information on the defendant's background. From the interviews and investigation, the probation officer prepares a presentence report for the judge to use to determine the appopriate sentence for the defendant.

You can find information on federal judges (district and magistrate judges) on your district court's website.

Please provide a link to your district court’s website.

Most likely the judge has ordered a presentence report that will be used at your sentencing hearing. Your case will be assigned to a U.S. Probation Officer for the preparation of the presentence report, which will include a personal interview with you.

If your friend/family member was convicted in Federal court, he most likely is held in a prison operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. This information is publicly available via the Federal Bureau of Prisons website with the Inmate Locator.

All payments for fines, restitution and special assessments ordered by the judge in your case are to be paid to the U.S. District Court Clerk in the district in which you were convicted. Please include your name and case number on your cashier’s check or money order.

You would be unable to submit a proposal for that RFP.  If your location is not included in any of the open RFPs, your location would not be applicable for services with the USPO.

You will receive an award letter via mail, along with contractual documents

Please refer to the specific RFP.  Due dates are indicated on page 1.

We mostly utilize Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) to procure treatment services.  A BPA is not a grant or lump sum of money, it is similar to a charge account or a fee-for-service agreement.  The BPAs are a one-year agreement, with two option years to extend, as long as the vendor is performing satisfactorily.  So, potentially, the contract would be for three years.

Integrated provision of mental health and substance abuse treatment in same location, at the same time, with same therapist.

700 Grant Street or Allegheny County Jail.

Yes, we can.

Yes, it will be.

The vendor includes the price of the polygraph on their monthly bill and pays the polygrapher directly.

Yes.

The RFPs will be posted by August 1st, and an email blast will be sent to notify you. You will then have 30 days to respond with your proposal.

Yes, if assessments are necessary to provide a service, you would need to submit a proposal for the assessment RFP.

If both locations are in Allegheny County, you would list them as locations on one proposal.  There is no need to submit two proposals.

(Please refer to page L- 3 of 12, part  2.b. of the background statement)

The fee is only for the injection and medical visit.  You need to also contract with use for IOP/OP services.  We would then order those services and pay them separately.  Much like an assessment, we pay for that, than the prescribed treatment is ordered by us, and we pay for that.  A provider would want to make sure they submit an RFP for Substance Abuse Counseling if they are submitting an RFP for Medically Assisted Treatment.

You must have a location in Allegheny County to apply for that RFP.  We do not currently contract for those services in Washington County.

Yes, that is exactly the way the prices should be proposed; a price for each type.
