Federal Correctional Complex Lompoc

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex Lompoc is a civilian sub-agency within the federal prison system that procures supplies, services, and contracted operations to support facility operations and inmate welfare at the Lompoc complex. The facility awards contracts for food service, healthcare, maintenance, utilities, and administrative support on behalf of its correctional operations.

The complex has awarded 5,735 federal contracts cumulatively since 2006, with combined potential value of $371.7 million and $348.4 million obligated (94% of potential). Recent activity shows 301 awards in 2023, 231 in 2024, 263 in 2025, 156 in 2026, and one award recorded for 2027; the volume decline from 2023 through 2026 reflects either a reduction in procurement or a transition in how awards are transacted. Approximately five percent of recent awards (65 of 1,232 over the last five years) carry no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or below-threshold purchase orders.

Among active primes over the last five years, Lompoc Valley Community Healthcare Organization, Inc. dominates with 112 awards valued at $31.3 million, followed by McKesson Corporation with 56 awards at $8.4 million and Santa Maria Valley Crop Service, Inc. with 37 awards at $702 thousand. The top five primes by award count cover 21 percent of recent activity; by potential value, the top five cover 12 percent. This fragmentation reflects the facility's reliance on local and regional vendors for routine supplies and food service rather than large national prime contractors. The complex has awarded 1,024 distinct primes across the portfolio history.

Set-asides are uncommon: 61 percent of all awards carry no set-aside designation, while total small-business set-asides account for 37 percent of awards (2,144 awards). Individual set-aside categories — 8(a) sole source, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone, and women-owned small business — together represent fewer than one percent of awards.

Recent contract opportunities include Water Treatment Services (Solicitation 15B61726Q00000019, Total Small Business set-aside, due September 15, 2026) and FCC Lompoc A1 Subsistence Red RFQ (Solicitation 15B61726Q00000018, Total Small Business set-aside, due September 4, 2026, for quarterly food requirements with delivery between September 20 and October 9, 2026). Both opportunities are restricted to small-business concerns and reflect the facility's core procurement needs for facility maintenance and inmate services.
