Commissary Population and Sales.pdf

This financial summary document provides commissary population and sales data for the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail Authority (SWVRJA) across four facilities—Abingdon, Duffield, Haysi, and Tazewell—in support of the RFPO for Inmate Commissary Services #2. The document details monthly average inmate populations (ranging from 160 to 750 inmates per facility), March 2026 cart and commissary sales figures, February 2026 indigent kit sales, and annual administrative kit estimates for each location. Abingdon, the largest facility with 750 average monthly inmates, generated the highest sales activity with $15,998.05 in cart sales and $45,740.89 in commissary sales during March 2026, while Tazewell, the smallest facility with 160 average monthly inmates, recorded $3,590.75 in cart sales and $9,098.19 in commissary sales. The document specifies the contents of bi-weekly indigent kits distributed to inmates, which include hygiene and personal care items such as generic soap, deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, envelopes, paper, and a pen.

The SWVRJA facilities generated total commissary deposits of $2,387,117.91 in FY2025, with combined March 2026 commissary and cart sales across all four facilities reaching approximately $89,570. These figures establish the revenue base upon which the selected commissary contractor's compensation will be calculated, as the contractor will receive compensation entirely through commission percentages on net sales of commissionable items. The combined annual estimate for administrative kits across all four facilities totals 15,400 kits, with Abingdon accounting for the largest volume at 5,400 kits annually. This financial data demonstrates substantial, ongoing revenue generation that will support the three-year initial contract term (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029) with two optional one-year renewal periods, and provides prospective bidders with concrete metrics for evaluating the commissary operation's financial viability and performance expectations.
