Federal Correctional Institution Pekin

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Pekin, a civilian sub-agency within the federal correctional system, procures supplies and services for operations at the Pekin facility in Illinois. FCI Pekin transacts through direct contracting for subsistence, equipment, maintenance, and facility operations to support the correctional institution's daily operations.

FCI Pekin has awarded 8,130 federal contracts since 2005, with a combined potential value of $157.1 million and 100 percent of that value obligated. Over the last five years, the facility awarded 154 contracts in 2022, 141 in 2023, 161 in 2024, 149 in 2025, and 125 year-to-date in 2026, reflecting a steady procurement cadence of approximately 140–160 awards annually. The most recent recorded award date is October 19, 2026. Among 632 distinct prime contractors, competitive concentration is fragmented. Over the last five years, Mckesson Corporation leads by award count with 90 awards valued at $4.9 million combined potential, while Integrated Medical Solutions, LLC ranks second by count (59 awards, $12.3 million potential) but first by potential value. Shaver Foods LLC, City Of Pekin, and Nitelines USA Inc. complete the top five by count. The top five primes account for 28 percent of recent awards by count and 15 percent by potential value, indicating a long tail of smaller recurring suppliers. The set-aside portfolio is predominantly open market: 84 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Total Small Business set-asides account for 15 percent of awards, with the remainder split across 8(a) sole source and competitive 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, reserved small business, partial small business, and Woman-Owned Small Business in minimal quantities.
