City Of Big Spring

City Of Big Spring, operating as City Cemetery, is a U.S. local government municipality in Big Spring, Texas, that provides water, sewer, landfill, solid waste disposal, and ambulance services to the Federal Correctional Institution Big Spring and other federal agencies as a prime contractor under non-competitive, full-and-open purchase orders. The city competes without set-aside designations across all of its federal footprint.

The municipality's federal customer base is heavily concentrated with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons. The Federal Correctional Institution Big Spring alone accounts for 103 awards with a combined potential value of $9.1 million (70% of the city's federal portfolio by award count and 72% by potential value). The remaining customer concentration includes the Department of Veterans Affairs (39 awards), the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons central office (27 awards), the Corporation for National and Community Service (7 awards), and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs (4 awards), covering 79% of recent awards. By dollar value, the top five customers account for a smaller share due to smaller award magnitudes outside the BOP facility contract stream, but the FCI Big Spring dominates both rankings decisively.

City of Big Spring's capability portfolio centers on recurring municipal utility and emergency support services. Representative contract work includes a $9,270.00 purchase order from the Federal Correctional Institution Big Spring for landfill operations (consolidated refuse and solid waste disposal, or COBS) covering the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, awarded July 1, 2026; a $35,198.88 purchase order for water and sewer services to the same facility covering November 2024 through April 2025, awarded November 1, 2024; and a $5,153.00 purchase order for ambulance services from November 1 through December 31, 2024, also to the FCI facility. All purchase orders are firm fixed-price with performance periods spanning two to six months. The city also holds a $193,600.00 Project Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program (CFDA 97.044) awarded July 15, 2024, and a $4.066 million Project Grant from the Economic Development Administration under the Investments for Public Works and Economic Development Facilities program (CFDA 11.300) awarded September 20, 2022, for water and wastewater infrastructure improvements at the Crossroads Business Park to support commercial and industrial development.

Award activity has remained relatively flat year over year — ranging from three awards in 2026 year-to-date to nineteen in 2024 — with a combined potential value of $12.9 million across 229 total awards. Only one award with a combined potential value of $9 thousand is set to reach completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in that window. The city's NAICS and PSC profile reflects its operational scope: Water Supply and Irrigation Systems (49 awards), Other Nonhazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal (38 awards), and Ambulance Services (32 awards) dominate the category concentration. The city places work under a Blanket Purchase Agreement (V519P1372) with ten task orders valued at $182 thousand combined potential value and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (GS00P91BSD0023) with four task orders. City of Big Spring acts as sub-recipient on federal grants from the Texas Water Development Board and the Texas Department of Transportation, supporting lead service line inventory and airport pavement reconstruction projects respectively.
