About the company
Alternatives Inc., doing business as Alpha House, is a Montana-based nonprofit organization that provides residential reentry center services, home confinement monitoring, and community-based substance use disorder treatment, mental health counseling, and sex offender treatment to the federal criminal justice system as a prime contractor (89% of recent awards). Alpha House competes full-and-open across all federal work with no set-aside designations; its customer base and contract portfolio are concentrated almost entirely within the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons system.
Alpha House's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in one customer and one service line. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office accounts for 62 awards totaling $41.5 million in combined potential value (89% of award count and 94% of combined potential value across all federal sources), with the remaining volume split among the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance. All work is performed in or within 200 miles of Billings, Montana. The source identifies Alpha House's federal contractor relationship as active since 2005, with consistent year-over-year contract issuance — two awards in 2022, three in 2023, six in 2024, and eight in 2025, with one award issued in 2026.
Alpha House holds five active indefinite-delivery contracts with Bureau of Prisons Central Office, the largest of which carries a $10.5 million ceiling with performance through November 30, 2026, and authorizes task orders for residential reentry center services and home confinement services within a 200-mile radius of the Billings facility. Recent delivery orders under this and related IDVs include a $1.59 million order awarded December 1, 2024, for residential reentry center and home confinement services through November 30, 2025; a $1.32 million order issued December 1, 2025, for residential reentry center and home confinement services through September 30, 2026; and a $238.2 thousand order for the same services through February 11, 2026. Treatment-focused orders include a $259.8 thousand delivery order for substance use, mental health, and sex offender treatment services covering October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025, and a $169.5 thousand order for community treatment services with the same performance period ending September 30, 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all recent awards total $19.3 million (44% of combined potential value), indicating significant execution against potential.
Alpha House also operates as a sub-recipient on federal grant programs. Recent grant sub-awards include work under the Montana Board of Crime Control as prime grantee for substance use disorder treatment and aftercare for individuals in the criminal justice system (multiple awards dated September 4, 2025), supportive services to homeless and at-risk populations (September 11, 2025), and recovery-oriented services through the State of Montana Department of Health and Human Services (October 25, 2024, and October 30, 2024). Alpha House operates as a prime contractor with no identified subcontractors across its federal footprint.
Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal — one award valued at $159 thousand faces ultimate completion within that window. The vendor's NAICS profile centers on Other Residential Care Facilities (52 awards) and Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers (13 awards), with Primary PSC coding as Social Rehabilitation (80 awards).
