Federal Correctional Institution Texarkana

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Texarkana, a civilian sub-agency of the federal correctional system, procures supplies, equipment, and services to operate the facility located in Texarkana, Texas. FCI Texarkana transacts primarily through small-dollar purchase orders and firm-fixed-price quotation-based contracts for routine operational needs rather than through larger multi-year awards.

The facility has issued 8,625 federal contract awards since March 2005, with combined potential value of $226.2 million and $174.3 million obligated to date. Recent activity shows 199 awards in 2022, 215 in 2023, 198 in 2024, 177 in 2025, and 60 year-to-date in 2026. The latest recorded award date is December 31, 2026.

Competition is concentrated by award count. Filtration Services, Inc. leads recent activity with 330 awards worth $14.1 million combined potential value, followed by J Allen And Associates Of Texas, LLC with 55 awards ($13.8 million) and McKesson Corporation with 54 awards ($5.9 million). These three primes account for 55 percent of recent awards by count. By potential value, concentration is more moderate: Kebros & Associates LLC tops the list at $26.7 million across nine awards, with Filtration Services and J Allen And Associates following. The top five primes by value represent 27 percent of combined potential value across the window. The facility works with 569 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio history, indicating a long tail of smaller, occasional vendors.

Set-aside usage is minimal. Approximately 75 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; small-business awards (including all SB variants) total 24 percent of the portfolio. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, and other designations each represent less than one percent of awards.

Recent solicitations reflect subsistence and facility-maintenance needs. FCI Texarkana posted multiple firm-fixed-price quotations in August 2026 for first-quarter fiscal 2027 subsistence categories—bread, milk, meats, kosher items—with due dates of August 17, 2026 and anticipated awards of August 19, 2026. A local-area-set-aside solicitation for a Kubota tractor with bucket (solicitation 15B51526-00000024) was posted September 15, 2026 with a due date of September 17, 2026 and delivery deadline of September 30, 2026. All solicitations route to Tex-ProcurementProp@bop.gov or related procurement email addresses and require registration in the System for Award Management prior to submission.
