Federal Correctional Institution Oakdale

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Oakdale, a sub-agency civilian facility within the federal correctional system, procures goods and services to support ongoing operations at the Louisiana correctional complex. The institution awards contracts for food service, textiles, packaging, maintenance supplies, and institutional necessities to vendors serving the facility's inmate and staff populations.

The Oakdale facility has awarded 3,872 federal contracts since 2009, with a combined potential value of $103 million, all of which has been obligated. Award activity has been light in recent years: 1 award in 2021, 19 in 2023, 29 in 2024, 10 in 2025, and 7 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award is recorded as July 15, 2026. Among 511 distinct prime contractors, competitive concentration is highly fragmented by both count and value. Over the last five years, Jag Textile Company and Tabb Textiles Co Inc. each hold 23 awards; Tabb leads slightly by combined potential value at $3.8 million versus Jag's $929 thousand. American & Efird LLC follows with 11 awards worth $215 thousand. The top five primes account for 95 percent of recent award count but only 5 percent of combined potential value, indicating that award activity is spread across many small transactions with low individual dollar values.

The set-aside mix is dominated by open competition: 3,267 awards (84 percent) are designated No Set-Aside Used, while 546 awards (14 percent) carry Total Small Business set-asides. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business accounts for 50 awards (1 percent), and 8(a) Sole Source for 9 awards (less than 1 percent).

Current solicitations posted in August 2026 reflect the facility's recurring food-service procurement cycle.
