Federal Public Defenders

The Federal Public Defenders is a civilian agency that administers the federal public defense system and procures support services and supplies for its criminal defense operations nationwide. The agency has awarded eight federal contracts totaling $218 thousand since 2006, with all obligated funds paid out. Contract activity is inactive: the most recent award closed on January 21, 2010, and no awards have been recorded in the sixteen years since. The agency transacted with six distinct prime contractors across its portfolio history. Award distribution is highly fragmented, with no single vendor capturing a meaningful share of the contract portfolio. The competitive set-aside mix reflects predominant open competition: 75 percent of awards carried no set-aside designation, while 8(a) awards (both sole-source and competitive) accounted for the remaining 25 percent of activity. No recent contract opportunities or grant activity is recorded against the Federal Public Defenders.
