Western Alternative Corrections, Inc., a Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Hastings, Nebraska, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $8.9 million by the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office to provide community-based outpatient substance use disorder and mental health treatment services in Little Rock, Arkansas. The contract, effective February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2031, is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and structured as a firm-fixed price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity vehicle. Services will be delivered to Adults in Custody in community placement settings, including Residential Reentry Centers, home confinement, Federal Location Monitoring, and Day Reporting Centers within a six-mile radius of Little Rock City Hall and in proximity to public transportation. All clinical services must be provided by Arkansas-licensed clinicians qualified to practice independently.

The contract encompasses comprehensive behavioral health services including substance use disorder individual and group counseling, mental health individual counseling, psychiatric evaluations, medication monitoring, crisis intervention, intake assessments, and treatment planning. Anticipated annual service volumes are substantial, ranging from 100 to 4,800 units for substance use disorder individual counseling and 240 to 2,000 units for mental health individual counseling, with proportional scaling for group counseling and ancillary services. The procurement structure includes a one-year base period commencing January 1, 2026, with four one-year renewal options and a potential six-month extension. This contract award reflects the Bureau of Prisons' continued reliance on Western Alternative Corrections as a prime contractor; the company currently maintains ten Indefinite Delivery Contracts across the federal corrections system collectively valued at approximately $34.4 million, demonstrating established operational capacity and performance history in delivering evidence-based correctional treatment programming supporting federal inmate rehabilitation and successful community reentry.
