Sacramento County Sheriffs Department

Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Sacramento, California, operates as a prime recipient on federal contracts and grants (85% of recent awards) and holds a sub-recipient role on transportation infrastructure grants. The department competes in full-and-open federal procurements with no set-asides; it is a child entity of the County of Sacramento.

The Sheriff's Department's federal work spans law enforcement services, database access subscriptions, and public safety infrastructure. The anchor engagement is a $40.96 million definitive contract with the Bureau of Reclamation for law enforcement and security services at Folsom Dam, running through March 31, 2029. In FY2025, this contract invoiced $7.5 million with 26.6 FTEs, all self-performed. Supporting contracts include firm-fixed-price purchase orders for access to the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) and Sacramento County Sheriff's Department criminal justice databases, with award dates in August 2025 and August 2026 from the Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (Veterans Health Administration), ranging from $10,020 to $16,921 in individual ceiling value. A $3,600 purchase order from the U.S. Attorney's Offices completed in August 2024. The department also holds a federal grant as prime recipient from the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (HUD) under the Economic Development Initiative / Community Project Funding program, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2032, and served as a sub-recipient under a prior Office of the National Drug Control Policy Hawkins Grant on Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program award running through December 2023.

Customer concentration is dominated by non-Defense civilian agencies. The top five funding entities account for 84% of awards by count: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development leads with 75 awards; the Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration follows with 20 awards; the Department of Justice's U.S. Marshals Service Eastern California branch holds 11 awards with $59 thousand combined potential value; the Office of Justice Programs carries 9 awards; and the Executive Office of the President's Office of the National Drug Control Policy accounts for 8 awards. By potential value, the Bureau of Reclamation dominates with $80.2 million across 3 awards (the Folsom Dam contract and related activity). The department also performs as a sub-recipient on twenty federally funded state transportation infrastructure projects under the Department of Transportation California, primarily bridge maintenance, safety improvements, and traffic enforcement activities spanning 2022 through 2024.

SCI-reportable invoiced revenue totaled $21.1 million across FY2022 through FY2025 (FY2024 showed no reportable invoicing). The department maintained roughly 22–27 FTEs on federal service contracts during this window, with 2025 reaching 26.6 FTEs on the Folsom Dam contract. The department performs all work on its prime contracts without named subcontractors (0% sub-hours share across SCI-reportable prime activity). Government-paid hourly rates on federal service contracts run around $151.62/hr median, with rates spanning $147.20/hr at the tenth percentile to $156.04/hr at the ninety-percent level. Only one award (combined potential value $16 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure.
