County Of Lee

County Of Lee, doing business as Lee County Public Service, is a U.S. local government entity providing wastewater utility services to federal correctional facilities as a prime contractor under full-and-open federal procurement, with limited exposure to subcontract work and federal grants. The entity operates as a child of Lee County VA (Lee County Board of Supervisors), a county government headquartered in Jonesville, Virginia. County Of Lee competes without set-aside designations — all documented federal work is full-and-open competitive or sole-source utility provision.

The vendor's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in wastewater treatment and sewer operations. County Of Lee holds a $10.4 million indefinite delivery contract (IDC 15B11720D00000028) with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, effective October 2020 through September 2030, under which it has issued 32 delivery orders totaling $6.1 million in combined potential value. Delivery orders are issued quarterly and cover wastewater services at United States Penitentiary facilities in Jonesville and Pennington Gap, Virginia. Recent quarterly orders range from approximately $215,000 to $283,000. Representative prime awards include a $250,000 delivery order for first-quarter fiscal year 2027 wastewater services (October 1, 2026, ultimate completion December 31, 2026); a $245,000 order for fourth-quarter fiscal year 2026 services (July 1, 2026, ultimate completion September 30, 2026); and a $282,793 order for second-quarter fiscal year 2025 services (April 1, 2025, ultimate completion June 30, 2025). All Bureau of Prisons awards carry firm fixed-price structures with no set-aside designation.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons United States Penitentiary Lee County accounts for 34 awards (68% of all awards by count) and $17.1 million (100% of combined potential value). This represents a sole-source geographic monopoly — County Of Lee is the only entity that can legally provide wastewater utilities to federal facilities within Lee County's jurisdiction. The remaining four customer agencies account for 12 awards combined: the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (4 awards), the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (4 awards), the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime (4 awards), and the Environmental Protection Agency Region 3 (3 awards). These non-prison awards cover community facility grants, victim services sub-grants, and environmental infrastructure projects.

County Of Lee holds a single parent vehicle: the $10.4 million IDC with Bureau of Prisons. The contract provides the framework for all quarterly wastewater delivery orders and carries no competing alternatives in the source data. As a sub-awardee, County Of Lee receives federal grant funding under the Department of Criminal Justice Services Virginia VSTOP (Victim Services) program and victim-witness coordination grants, as well as Environmental Protection Agency and Virginia Department of Health sub-grants for water infrastructure and emergency management. Grant work includes victim advocacy support (VSTOP follow-up investigations for domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking cases) and water line replacement projects (Lee County Public Service Area Dryden Community Emergency Sewer Project; St. Charles water line replacement). County Of Lee acts as a sub-recipient, not a prime grant recipient — all named grant awards flow through Virginia state agencies or the Department of Criminal Justice Services.

Activity has contracted sharply. The vendor received 17 awards in 2022 (driven by monthly delivery orders under the Bureau of Prisons IDC), 7 in 2023, 9 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 5 through October 2026. The apparent decline reflects the consolidation of monthly Bureau of Prisons invoices into quarterly delivery orders beginning in 2023, reducing award count while maintaining revenue. Only one award (combined potential value $250,000) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months — the October 1, 2026 quarterly wastewater delivery order, completing December 31, 2026. The remainder of the IDC extends through September 2030, creating low recompete urgency in the immediate horizon but exposing the vendor to federal repricing, scope reduction, or consolidation risk if Bureau of Prisons changes wastewater service delivery strategy over the contract's remaining four years.
