Diocese Of La Crosse, Inc.

Diocese Of La Crosse, Inc., doing business as Catholic Times, provides Catholic clergy services to the Department of the Army and the Federal Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), delivering non-personal religious services including Sunday mass, holy days, field services, and clergy counseling to military personnel, their families, and incarcerated individuals at installations in Sparta, Wisconsin and federal correctional facilities. The vendor is a tax-exempt non-profit religious organization headquartered in La Crosse, Wisconsin, operating under NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations) and PSC G002 (Social-Chaplain); all recent work is awarded full-and-open, with no small business set-asides applied.

The Diocese's customer base splits evenly between two federal entities. The Department of the Army (10 awards, $251 thousand combined potential value) and the Federal Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Oxford (17 awards, $249 thousand combined potential value) account for 87% of recent awards and 58% of combined potential value. The Army's work anchors a single-award indefinite delivery contract (W911SA21D3002), valued at $84,000 and running through March 31, 2026, under which the Diocese has executed eight delivery orders since 2022 for clergy services at Fort McCoy and Sparta, Wisconsin. The BOP awards flow through two indefinite delivery contracts: DJB411003081 (four task orders, $209 thousand combined potential value) and DJBP041000000041 (four task orders, $56 thousand combined potential value), both supporting quarterly religious services at FCI Oxford. Representative work includes a $89,945 Army purchase order awarded June 1, 2026, for Catholic priest services at Sparta through February 28, 2031; a $17,500 Army delivery order for clergy services including Sunday mass and field services at military installations in the Sparta area (awarded April 1, 2025, completing March 31, 2026); and quarterly $2,240 to $2,500 BOP purchase orders for Catholic religious services at FCI Oxford (most recent October 1, 2026, completing December 31, 2025). The Diocese furnishes all labor, transportation, equipment, materials, and supervision under a non-personal services model, arranging clergy and religious personnel rather than employing them directly.

Activity has been sparse and volatile — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026 — with only one award ($160 combined potential value) facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. Combined potential value across all thirty-one awards totals $870 thousand, with $343 thousand obligated to date (39% of potential). The Diocese does not serve as a subcontractor and holds no parent GWAC, BPA, or agency-wide IDIQ seats. The vendor's footprint is exclusively religious services delivery to federal facilities in Wisconsin, with no teaming relationships or sub-contractor engagements in the source data.
