Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn, a sub-agency of the federal correctional system, procures facilities maintenance, construction, security, food services, and medical support for the operation of the MDC Brooklyn correctional facility located at 80 29th Street in Brooklyn, New York.

The MDC has awarded 5,403 federal contracts since 2003, with combined potential value of $536 million and $510.6 million obligated (95% of potential). Recent activity shows a declining trend: 194 awards in 2022, 192 in 2023, 154 in 2024, 137 in 2025, and 114 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award was recorded on October 19, 2026. Over the last five years, the agency works with 650 distinct prime contractors across a moderately concentrated competitive base. Naphcare LLC dominates with 118 awards valued at $72.4 million in combined potential, followed by United Security Inc. with 26 awards and $70.6 million combined potential value. These two primes account for approximately 29 percent of recent combined potential value. The remaining top-five primes (McKesson Corporation, Honest Elevator LLC, and One Stop Recruiting LLC) hold substantially smaller individual positions, with long-tail competition fragmented across hundreds of smaller vendors.

The set-aside mix skews heavily toward open competition: 3,478 awards (64 percent) carry no set-aside designation, while 1,857 awards (34 percent) are total small-business set-asides. Service-disabled veteran-owned small business, 8(a) sole source, woman-owned small business, competitive 8(a), partial small business, and economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business designations collectively account for fewer than 50 awards across the portfolio.

Current solicitation activity centers on facilities maintenance, food services, and security.
