Federal Correctional Institution Gilmer

Federal Correctional Institution Gilmer, a sub-agency of the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, procures supplies, services, and maintenance for the operation and security of a federal correctional facility. The institution executes contracts for food service, medical supplies, facility maintenance, training, and equipment across a large vendor base.

FCI Gilmer has awarded 8,088 federal contracts since 2003, with combined potential value of $623 million and combined obligations of $621.3 million. Recent activity shows 323 awards in 2022, 290 in 2023, 155 in 2024, 137 in 2025, and 147 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on October 14, 2026. The institution transacts with 817 distinct prime contractors across its portfolio history.

Over the last five years, competitive concentration is fragmented. Veterans Range Solutions, LLC leads by award count with 124 awards totaling $60.5 million in combined potential value, followed by Integrated Medical Solutions, LLC with 73 awards ($9.8 million) and Warhorse Training Solutions, LLC with 51 awards ($33.9 million). These three primes account for 28 percent of recent awards by count and 20 percent by combined potential value. The remaining vendor base encompasses hundreds of smaller awardees across the long tail.

Set-asides are minimal in the portfolio. Three-quarters of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides (including Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business designations) account for 25 percent of awards, with 1,825 in the Total Small Business category, 199 as SDVOSB, and fewer than 10 combined in 8(a) sole-source, competitive 8(a), HUBZone, or partial small-business categories.

The most recently posted contract opportunity is Solicitation 15B11927Q00000001 for FCI Gilmer FY27 First Quarter Food Service items, set aside for Total Small Business, with a due date of September 8, 2026 (closed). The solicitation calls for food-service supplies with deliveries from October 1 through October 31, 2026, plus weekly dairy and bread deliveries for the quarter. Award will be made by line item to responsive, responsible vendors whose offers are most advantageous to the Government, with past performance weighted approximately equal to price.
