Federal Medical Center Carswell

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Medical Center Carswell is a civilian medical and detention facility operating under the Bureau of Prisons that procures medical services, pharmaceuticals, supplies, staffing, and facility support through federal contracts. The facility has awarded 4,658 contracts totaling $464.5 million in potential value since its first award in October 2006, with 223 awards in 2022, 211 in 2023, 203 in 2024, 233 in 2025, and 178 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is October 30, 2026.

The competitive base is moderately concentrated among the top five primes by award count, which hold 36 percent of recent awards. The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth dominates both rankings, holding 203 awards worth $59.7 million in combined potential value over the last five years. McKesson Corporation follows with 36 awards and $20.6 million, while Federal Prison Industries, Inc., Actelion Pharmaceuticals US, Inc., and Absolute Staffers LLC each hold between 38 and 60 awards with substantially smaller individual contract values. Across the broader portfolio, the facility has worked with 676 distinct prime contractors, and top-five concentration by potential value is highly fragmented at 19 percent, indicating that medical procurement dollars spread across a large vendor base despite the University of North Texas Health Science Center's dominance by award count.

Contract awards are predominantly open competition without set-aside designation: 3,914 awards (84 percent) carry no set-aside use. Small-business set-asides account for 703 awards (15 percent), while Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, 8(a) sole source, competitive 8(a), Woman-Owned Small Business, and partial small-business designations together comprise less than one percent of activity. Combined dollars obligated total $463.1 million, representing full obligations against the combined potential value.

No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded against the facility in the source data. Business development targeting this facility should focus on health services delivery and medical-supply procurement aligned with the facility's role as a federal detention medical center and the current vendor relationships demonstrated by the University of North Texas Health Science Center's sustained contract volume.
