Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg

The Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg, a sub-agency of the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, procures supplies and services for the operation and maintenance of a federal correctional facility located in Salters, South Carolina. The facility's contracting activity rolls up through the Bureau of Prisons procurement system and executes acquisitions to support inmate care, facility operations, and institutional logistics.

The facility has awarded 5,409 federal contracts since October 2004, with combined potential value of $202.8 million and $188.9 million obligated. Award volume has declined over the last five years: 233 awards in 2022, 253 in 2023, 224 in 2024, 175 in 2025, and 111 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on October 5, 2026. Across the portfolio history, 673 distinct prime contractors have received awards, indicating a fragmented vendor base.

Over the last five years, competitive concentration is moderately concentrated by award count but fragmented by potential value. McKesson Corporation leads by award count with 274 awards ($6.9 million combined potential value), followed by MTJ American LLC with 97 awards ($3.6 million). Seven Corners Inc. ranks third by count with 69 awards but dominates by potential value at $46.6 million combined—a significant outlier suggesting high-ticket contract work. The top five primes account for 48% of recent awards and 29% of combined potential value over the five-year window. The long tail of remaining primes reflects episodic, task-specific contracting rather than sustained prime relationships.

Small-business set-asides represent 29% of all awards (1,563 Total Small Business designations), with the remaining 70% awarded without set-aside restriction. 8(a) Sole Source awards comprise 1% of volume (31 awards), while service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, and women-owned small business set-asides each account for less than 1% of the portfolio.

The facility released multiple solicitations in August 2026, all set-aside for small business and all due August 28, 2026. These include firm-fixed-price RFQs for first-quarter FY27 produce, eggs, dairy, bread, religious diet and halal food requirements, and subsistence and local items. All solicitations specify weekly or one-time deliveries to the facility warehouse beginning in October 2026 through December 2026 or later. Award decisions will be based on past performance and price, with past performance weighted as most important. These represent recurring institutional food-supply requirements typical of correctional facility operations.
