About this agency
The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Detention Center Houston is a civilian sub-agency that procures supplies, services, and facility maintenance to operate a federal detention facility in Houston, Texas.
The facility has awarded 3,001 federal contracts since October 2008, with combined potential value of $126.7 million and $80.9 million in combined dollars obligated (64% of potential value). Recent activity shows 89 awards in 2022, 68 in 2023, 124 in 2024, 95 in 2025, and 48 year-to-date in 2026. Among 418 distinct prime contractors awarded over the portfolio history, competitive concentration is moderately concentrated by award count: the top five primes hold 32 percent of recent five-year awards. Kebros & Associates LLC leads by award count with 32 awards, followed by Federal Prison Industries, Inc. with 31 and Wellpath LLC with 30. By potential value, concentration is highly fragmented—the top five primes hold only 9 percent of combined five-year potential value, with Wellpath LLC leading at $5.3 million combined potential value across 30 awards, followed by McKesson Corporation at $2 million across 20 awards.
The set-aside mix is dominated by unrestricted awards: 73 percent carry no set-aside designation, while 26 percent are designated Total Small Business. 8(a) Sole Source and Competitive 8(a) awards together account for less than 1 percent of all awards. The remaining categories (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Partial Small Business, Reserved for Small Business, and Woman-Owned Small Business) collectively represent fewer than 15 awards across the entire portfolio.
Recent solicitations focus on food service and facility operations. The facility issued multiple first-quarter FY27 food service solicitations in late August 2026, including 1st Qtr FY27 Food Service Meat (due September 8, 2026), 1st Qtr FY27 Food Service Subsistence (due September 8, 2026), and 1st Qtr FY27 Food Service Kosher (due September 8, 2026), all set aside for Total Small Business. Non-food-service solicitations include 1st Qtr Bread FY27 (due September 14, 2026, no set-aside) and B&F 26Z5AV7 – Emergency Repair of Elevator C&D (due September 16, 2026, set aside for Total Small Business), which requires elevator service contractors with proven commercial equipment experience and ASME A17.1 safety certification.
