Federal Correctional Institution Phoenix

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Phoenix is a civilian federal detention facility that procures goods and services necessary to operate a large correctional institution, including medical supplies, facility maintenance, food service, and security equipment. FCI Phoenix conducts its own contracting operations and has awarded 8,195 federal contracts since 2001, generating $257.9 million in combined award potential value with $245 million obligated to date.

Contract volume has declined significantly in recent years. FCI Phoenix awarded 243 contracts in 2022, 192 in 2023, 144 in 2024, 121 in 2025, and 67 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on October 1, 2026. Over the last five years, the facility has worked with 912 distinct prime contractors, though the competitive base remains moderately concentrated. Naphcare LLC dominates recent activity by award count with 59 awards totaling $12.9 million in potential value over the past five years. Route Electronics 22 Inc. and Reliable Distribution Sales, Corp. follow with 33 awards each; Power Connector LLC and Xerox Corporation round out the top five by count with 27 and 26 awards respectively. By combined potential value, Naphcare holds the lead, followed by McKesson Corporation ($4.8 million across 9 awards) and Centron Industries Inc. ($4.1 million across 19 awards). The top five primes by count account for 22 percent of recent awards, while the top five by value account for 10 percent of combined potential value—a gap indicating that volume leaders are not necessarily dollar leaders, typical of operational supply-chain contracting.

Set-asides are minimal at FCI Phoenix. Sixty-three percent of all awards carry no set-aside designation. Small business set-asides account for 35 percent of awards, with woman-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, and 8(a) designations each representing less than one percent of the portfolio. The facility shows no meaningful preference for any particular socioeconomic set-aside category.

FCI Phoenix's procurement pattern reflects routine facility operations: a steady stream of smaller transactions with diverse vendors across medical, supply, and maintenance categories rather than large multiyear IDIQs or blanket purchase agreements. The declining award volume over the past five years may signal operational consolidation, supplier rationalization, or a shift toward longer-duration contracts that do not require frequent awards. No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the available data, and pursuing this agency requires direct engagement with the facility's contracting office on upcoming facility and operational needs.
