Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a closely related prior contract for the same location and mission, with Fabcor identified on the related award 15M10425PA4700064 for “MISSION CRITICAL - KNOXVILLE CELLBLOCK REPAIR” (09/22/25–05/29/26) valued at $13,180. The current FY26-27 effort also involves repairing the Knoxville Cellblock Control Console at the Howard H. Baker, Jr. U.S. Courthouse and restoring functionality of the Folger Adams 3100 control console by replacing a failed internal component and verifying electronic door operations, which suggests continuity in scope and facility-specific work.
