Federal Transfer Center Oklahoma City

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Transfer Center Oklahoma City is a civilian sub-agency that procures subsistence, medical services, utilities, and operational supplies for the Federal Transfer Center facility in Oklahoma City. The center operates as a regional prison receiving and processing hub, contracting for goods and services required to house and sustain inmate populations and maintain facility operations.

The Federal Transfer Center has executed 4,571 federal contract awards since 2009, obligating $149.6 million against a combined potential value of $151.4 million. Recent award activity has trended downward: the center issued 166 awards in 2022, 200 in 2023, 131 in 2024, 107 in 2025, and 114 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award is dated October 1, 2026. Activity spans 535 distinct prime contractors, indicating a highly fragmented competitive base by potential value.

Over the last five years, contract awards are concentrated among healthcare and subsistence vendors. Wellpath LLC leads with 107 awards totaling $6.6 million in combined potential value, followed by McKesson Corporation with 92 awards and $5.8 million, and Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company with 13 awards and $3.5 million. These three vendors account for 38 percent of award count over the period but only 13 percent of combined potential value, reflecting the prevalence of small-dollar, high-frequency subsistence and medical task orders. Federal Prison Industries, Inc., Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, and Shaver Foods LLC round out the active supplier base.

Set-asides remain minimal: 70 percent of awards are issued unrestricted (no set-aside used), while 29 percent are total small-business set-asides. Service-disabled veteran-owned small business, 8(a), woman-owned small business, and partial small-business designations together account for fewer than 1 percent of awards.

Recent solicitations focus on quarterly subsistence procurement for fiscal 2027 first quarter. The Federal Transfer Center posted three solicitations on August 14, 2026, all due August 28, 2026: milk (solicitation 15B51326Q00000013, no set-aside, NAICS 311511), bread (15B51326Q00000012, no set-aside, NAICS 311812), and dairy, meats, general subsistence, and kosher items (15B51326Q00000011, 100 percent small-business set-aside, NAICS 311999). All three are firm-fixed-price contracts with weekly or scheduled deliveries through December 31, 2026 or October 30, 2026, FOB destination to the facility at 7410 South MacArthur Boulevard, Oklahoma City. Past performance is weighted equally to price in award decisions.
