Federal Correctional Institution Danbury

Federal Correctional Institution Danbury, a sub-agency within the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, procures supplies, services, and subsistence items to operate a federal detention facility located in Danbury, Connecticut. The facility conducts recurring quarterly and annual contracting cycles for food service, institutional supplies, and medical products to support inmate care and facility operations.

The facility awarded 4,870 federal contracts cumulatively since first award in October 2004, with combined potential value of $167.7 million and $162.2 million in combined dollars obligated. Recent activity shows 131 awards in 2022, 105 in 2023, 123 in 2024, 101 in 2025, and 93 year-to-date in 2026. Of the last five years' awards, 28 of 560 recent awards carry no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders. The facility transacts with 700 distinct prime contractors across the lifetime portfolio.

Competitive concentration is fragmented among recent primes. Over the last five years, Integrated Medical Solutions, LLC leads by award count with 82 awards and $10.3 million combined potential value, followed by Mckesson Corporation with 26 awards and $6.5 million, and Shaver Foods LLC with 21 awards and $726 thousand. These top five primes by count hold 29 percent of recent awards; by potential value, the top five hold 11 percent of combined potential value. The vendor base remains dispersed across the long tail.

Set-aside activity is minimal: 80 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while 20 percent are small-business set-asides. Within the small-business portion, 8(a) sole-source awards account for 11 awards, service-disabled veteran-owned small business for 7 awards, economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business for 8 awards, and competitive 8(a), woman-owned small business, HUBZone, and partial small business for fewer than 10 awards each.

Recent contract opportunities focus on quarterly subsistence and supply contracts, all set aside for small business. Multiple solicitations posted in late August and early September 2026 target fruit, vegetables, meat, bread, eggs, dairy, paper products, kosher, halal, and general subsistence supply for first-quarter fiscal 2027 delivery beginning October 1, 2026.
