Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg is a civilian sub-agency that procures supplies, services, and operational support for a federal correctional facility in Hopewell, Virginia. The complex issues firm-fixed-price purchase orders and spot contracts for food service, medical supplies, commissary items, and facility operations.

The Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg has awarded 10,765 federal contracts since 2001, with combined potential value of $378.6 million and $333 million obligated to date. Award volume has declined over the last five years: 369 awards in 2022, 289 in 2023, 284 in 2024, 256 in 2025, and 192 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on October 1, 2026.

Among active prime contractors over the last five years, competitive concentration is moderately concentrated. Naphcare LLC leads by award count with 120 awards and $30 million combined potential value; Bob Barker Company, Inc. follows with 115 awards but only $3 million in reported value; and Bull Run Boots, LIMITED has 71 awards with $2 million combined potential value. These top three account for 29 percent of recent awards by count but only 12 percent of combined potential value, reflecting that the facility conducts a high volume of small-ticket spot buys through individual purchase orders rather than large multi-year contracts. McKesson Corporation, Larry Kong, and a long tail of 884 additional distinct prime contractors round out the competitive field, many transacting through single or limited spot purchases.

The complex' set-aside practice emphasizes open competition: 78 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides account for 21 percent of awards, split almost entirely between total small-business designations (2,270 awards) and scattered 8(a), SDVOSB, and WOSB awards (26 awards combined). This distribution reflects a procurement posture focused on lowest-cost delivery of commodities and services rather than leveraging small-business contracting vehicles.

Recent solicitations posted in August 2026 and closed on August 31, 2026 include FY27 1ST QTR FCC PETERSBURG DAIRY, EGGS, BREAD (Small Business set-aside), FY27 1ST QTR FCC PETERSBURG HALAL, KOSHER, SUBSISTENCE (Small Business set-aside), and FY27 1ST QTR FCC PETERSBURG MEAT (Small Business set-aside), all requiring delivery to the facility warehouse by October 1–8, 2026. These recurring quarterly food-service solicitations are typical of the complex' ongoing procurement rhythm and remain the primary open-opportunity vehicle at the facility.
