Regional Offices

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Regional Offices is a sub-agency of the civilian Justice Department that procures construction, medical services, facility maintenance, and operational supplies for the federal correctional system. The Bureau administers 122 federal facilities nationwide through regional acquisition offices, with centralized procurement for facility capital projects, inmate medical and health services, and institutional operations.

The Bureau has awarded 3,805 federal contracts since 2001, obligating $459.9 million against a combined potential value of $652.6 million across 1,152 distinct prime contractors. Contract activity has declined in recent years: 138 awards in 2023, 126 in 2024, 108 in 2025, 45 in 2026, and 1 year-to-date in 2027. The most recently recorded award date is March 26, 2027.

Over the last five years, contract competition is highly fragmented by award count—the top five primes account for only 24 percent of recent awards—with Kyocera Document Solutions America Inc. leading at 37 awards (primarily for office equipment), followed by Alphasix LLC with 29 awards. By potential value, concentration is also highly fragmented at 3 percent of combined potential value, with Lavastida Development Group LLC and J.C. Chang & Associates Inc. at the top. The competitive landscape is dominated by small transactional awards; recent awards with no reported potential value suggest heavy reliance on Schedule task orders and BPA calls.

Set-aside usage is minimal: 90 percent of awards carry no set-aside, 8 percent are small-business set-asides, and less than 1 percent are designated 8(a) sole source or SDVOSB.

Recent contract opportunities center on facility capital projects and operational services. The Bureau posted a sources-sought notice for pharmacy cleanroom upgrades at FMC Fort Worth (estimated $500,000 to $1,000,000, due November 3, 2026) and replacement roofing at FCC Butner in North Carolina. Active solicitations include comprehensive medical services at FDC Houston and FPC Bryan, mobile diagnostic services at FCI Miami, optometrist services at multiple institutions, and facility maintenance projects including water tank rehabilitation at FCI Texarkana ($1,000,000 to $5,000,000 small-business set-aside, due October 13, 2026). An IDIQ for architect-engineer services across Bureau facilities is under synopsis for multiple awards up to $10,000,000 per contract annually (due November 4, 2026, small-business set-aside with an amendment posted October 21, 2026 incorporating contractor questions).
