Federal Correctional Institution Dublin

Federal Correctional Institution Dublin, a sub-agency within the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, procures goods and services to operate a federal correctional facility and serve its inmate population and staff. The facility is responsible for contracting to meet operational, medical, food service, and inmate-program needs at its Dublin, California location.

The institution has awarded 3,978 federal contracts since 2005, generating $121.2 million in combined potential value with $110.8 million obligated. Recent activity has contracted sharply: the facility awarded 116 contracts in 2022, 140 in 2023, 55 in 2024, 8 in 2025, and 1 year-to-date in 2026, with the most recently recorded award dated April 1, 2026. This steep decline suggests either a shift in procurement strategy, operational consolidation, or transition to alternative transacting mechanisms at the parent bureau level.

Contract competition is highly fragmented by award count in recent years. The top five primes—McKesson Corporation (72 awards, $919 thousand combined potential value), Seven Corners Inc. (56 awards, $3.4 million), Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (13 awards, $114 thousand), Pueblo Trading Co Inc. (8 awards, $149 thousand), and Shaver Foods LLC (8 awards, $252 thousand)—account for 47 percent of recent awards. By combined potential value over the last five years, concentration is even lighter: Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Seven Corners Inc., McKesson Corporation, Cell Staff LLC, and Shaver Foods LLC collectively represent only 7 percent of recent contract value, reflecting the facility's reliance on numerous small vendors for food, supplies, utilities, and services. The 547 distinct prime contractors awarded across the portfolio history show persistent vendor diversification.

Set-aside usage is minimal. Seventy-four percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; 24 percent are total small business; and 8(a) sole source, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, competitive 8(a), reserved for small business, and partial small business designations together account for roughly 1 percent of awards.

No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded against the facility. No grant activity is present in the portfolio. Given the sharp deceleration in contracting volume and the absence of open solicitations, the facility warrants watch-status pending clarification of current procurement authority and activity level.
