About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Correctional Facilities issued a sole source justification notice for trash collection and disposal services at the Federal Correctional Institution Terminal Island Recycling Factory in San Pedro, California. The contract was awarded to Arakelian Enterprises, Inc., doing business as Athens Services, for a one-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract valued at $40,000, with a performance period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The sole source justification was based on security concerns raised by the facility's top security official, who determined that limiting vendor access to the prison grounds through retention of the existing trash service contractor would minimize potential security risks. The rationale for bypassing full and open competition was predicated on the vendor's existing contract performance at the adjacent prison facility and the facility's assessment that no other supplies or services would adequately satisfy the agency's security-sensitive requirements. The contract was awarded on January 5, 2026, under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1 authority and was posted on SAM.gov for the required 14-day justification period.
