Alaska Department Of Corrections

Alaska Department Of Corrections (AKDOC) is a unified state government agency that manages both jail and prison services statewide, processing approximately 30,000 individuals annually. The agency serves as a critical infrastructure partner for the federal government, providing specialized correctional and confinement services through both federal contracts and grants. AKDOC leverages its existing state-run correctional facilities and expertise to meet federal military and civilian detention requirements while simultaneously operating evidence-based substance abuse treatment and reentry programs funded through federal grants.

Through federal contract awards, AKDOC has consistently provided temporary confinement and detention services for military personnel. The agency has received multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders from the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces and the Department of the Army Pacific Command to house Air Force and Army prisoners at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, in accordance with a Performance Work Statement dated April 25, 2022. Recent delivery orders issued between July 2024 and October 2025 include awards valued at $2,022.10, $6,470.72, $13,024.00, $3,033.15, $4,026.60, $4,770.97, $2,684.40, $6,039.90, and $20,356.70. Additionally, AKDOC received larger delivery orders in prior years, including $74,999.94 from Army Pacific Command for 334 days of confinement services (September 2023) and $38,720.00 from Pacific Air Forces for FY23 confinement support (October 2022). All awards were issued without set-aside designations and operated as delivery orders under a larger indefinite delivery contract mechanism. The agency served as the prime contractor on all awards without involvement of subcontractors, directly performing all confinement and correctional management services using its secure detention facilities.

AKDOC has received substantial federal grant funding focused on substance abuse treatment and reentry services for incarcerated populations. The agency is a prime grantee under the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) for State Prisoners Program (CFDA 16.593), administered by the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance. Recent grant awards include $152,268 (October 2024 through September 2028) supporting RSAT programs at Hiland Mountain Correctional Center for female felons, $205,848 (October 2023 through September 2027) supporting programs at both Hiland Mountain and Wildwood Correctional Centers, and $188,109 (October 2022 through September 2026) supporting expansion at Hiland Mountain. An earlier grant of $151,861 was awarded July 2021 through June 2022 for the HMCC Residential Treatment Program. These grants fund evidence-based cognitive behavioral and therapeutic community treatment approaches, medication-assisted treatment programs, and reentry support services designed to reduce recidivism and address Alaska's opioid epidemic among incarcerated populations. Additionally, AKDOC received a sub-grant award through the State of Alaska Department of Labor & Workforce Development (July 2024), further expanding its capacity to provide integrated rehabilitation and workforce development services.

AKDOC holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces, effective September 30, 2022 through September 30, 2027, with a ceiling value of $750,000. This IDC vehicle establishes the framework for providing confinement services to temporarily house Air Force and Army prisoners at various locations in Alaska, specifically at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. The contract operates under a firm fixed-price structure with no set-aside designation and serves as the parent vehicle for all delivery orders issued to AKDOC by Pacific Air Forces. Numerous delivery orders have been issued against this contract since its inception, with task orders ranging from approximately $2,000 to $20,000 each, enabling flexible and ongoing support for military detention requirements across multiple ordering periods through the contract end date. The IDC mechanism allows the Air Force and Army to efficiently manage temporary confinement needs while providing AKDOC with predictable, recurring work opportunities aligned with its core correctional infrastructure capabilities.
