Management Specialty Training Center Glynco

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Management and Specialty Training Center Glynco, a civilian sub-agency of the Justice Department, procures training, supplies, security services, and specialized equipment to support federal prison operations and staff development. The center has awarded 445 federal contracts totaling $7.6 million in combined potential value since 2009, with activity concentrated in small-dollar transactional awards typical of government training facilities and operational support.

Recent contract activity has declined sharply. The center issued 5 awards in 2020, 4 in 2021, 8 in 2022, 3 in 2023, and 2 in 2024. Of the 13 awards closed in the last five years, 2 carried no reported potential value, indicating reliance on Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or below-threshold purchase orders that do not always capture dollar ceilings in federal summary systems. Combined dollars obligated ($9 million) exceeded combined potential value ($7.6 million), typical when modifications or option exercises push final costs above initial awards.

The contractor base is highly fragmented. Among the top five primes by award count over the last five years, A2Z Supply Corp leads with 2 awards totaling $130 thousand, followed by four vendors with 1 award each; these five primes account for 46 percent of recent awards. By potential value, the same vendors plus Divine Imaging Inc. and Alphasix LLC collectively represent only 4 percent of combined potential value, a stark indicator that most recent awards are small-dollar individual transactions. The remaining 114 primes have each received a single award, and 119 distinct contractors have participated in the portfolio across its fifteen-year history.

Set-aside activity is minimal. Seventy-six percent of all awards carried no set-aside designation. Small-Business set-asides account for 15 percent of awards (67 total), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides represent 9 percent (39 awards, plus 1 SDVOSB sole-source award). No other set-aside categories appear in the portfolio.
