Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix, a sub-agency within the civilian Federal Bureau of Prisons, procures subsistence, supplies, and services for the operation and maintenance of a federal correctional facility in New Jersey.

The facility has awarded 12,905 federal contracts since 2006, totaling $480.4 million in combined potential value with $469.6 million obligated. Annual award volume over the last five years shows 267 awards in 2022, 300 in 2023, 299 in 2024, 247 in 2025, and 185 year-to-date in 2026. The most recently recorded award date is in December 2026.

Among the 913 distinct prime contractors awarded over the last five years, competitive concentration by award count is fragmented at 27% coverage, while concentration by potential value is highly fragmented at 15% coverage. Naphcare LLC leads by both count and value with 130 awards and $42.4 million combined potential value. McKesson Corporation ranks second with 85 awards and $14.5 million combined potential value. Plainfield Fruits And Produce Co Inc. and Sudano's Produce, LLC follow with 62 and 56 awards respectively, each transacting in the subsistence category with minimal reported dollar value. The remaining contractor base is heavily fragmented across a long tail of vendors.

The award portfolio is dominated by open competition absent set-aside designation—80 percent of all awards carry no set-aside restriction. Small business set-asides account for 20 percent of total awards. 8(a) sole source, 8(a) competitive, HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, and woman-owned small business designations together represent fewer than 1 percent of awards.

Recent contract solicitations reflect facility subsistence procurement. Three small-business-set-aside solicitations posted on July 28, 2026, each with an August 9, 2026 due date, target FY27 first-quarter requirements: FCI Fort Dix FY27 1st Quarter Halal Food (solicitation 15BFTD26Q00000012), FCI Fort Dix FY27 1st Quarter Subsistence Food including Bread, Dairy & Eggs (solicitation 15BFTD26Q00000010), and FCI Fort Dix FY27 1st Quarter Kosher Food (solicitation 15BFTD26Q00000011). All three award by line item to the lowest responsive and responsible offeror and require vendor registration in the System for Award Management and acceptance of electronic funds transfer as payment method.
