About the company
Florida Detention Systems Inc., a for-profit corporation based in Melrose, Florida, supplies security infrastructure equipment and performs detention facility construction and repair services to the Federal Bureau of Prisons and other Department of Justice detention facilities as a prime contractor. The vendor operates 100% as a prime (49 awards, all prime) and competes predominantly under small business set-asides on Total Small Business designations; recent work spans both set-aside and full-and-open purchases.
The vendor's capability portfolio centers on perimeter security systems, gate fabrication and installation, electrical control systems, and fence and razor-wire supply for federal correctional facilities. Representative work includes a $3.2 million Total Small Business definitive contract awarded by BOP Field Acquisition Office in November 2023 for the Upgrade PLC Project at FCI Cumberland in Maryland, covering programmable logic controller system upgrades and electrical installation; a $593,150 delivery order from FCI Mckean in September 2025 for razor-wire supply under an IDC; a $144,300 definitive contract from FCI Atlanta in August 2026 for fabrication and installation of an 18-foot by 18-foot wall-mounted service slider gate system with manufacturer-certified personnel; and a $389,450 delivery order from FCI Mckean in September 2025 for specialized razor-wire supply for perimeter fence construction. The vendor also performs emergency repairs: a $127,916 purchase order from Federal Detention Center Honolulu in April 2026 for emergency vehicle-gate replacement and a $60,000 Total Small Business purchase order from FCI El Reno in September 2026 for rear-gate demolition and replacement using genuine OEM Tymetal parts.
Customer concentration reflects deep specialization within the Bureau of Prisons. The top five customer locations and offices account for 35% of recent awards by count and 31% by combined potential value. Department of the Navy holds the largest award count at five orders, but Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons facilities dominate the dollar footprint: BOP Field Acquisition Office anchors the portfolio at $3.2 million across one award, FCI Mckean carries $2 million across three awards, and Federal Detention Center Miami, FCI Complex Terre Haute, and other bureau facilities round out active placements. Across all 49 awards, the vendor has served 29 distinct customer agencies, though the concentration is heavily skewed to BOP detention facilities.
The vendor holds a position on a single-award IDC (15BFA025D00000029) valued at $983,000 with a ceiling effective through September 1, 2026, focused on razor-wire supply for FCI Mckean under FAR Part 12 commercial-item procedures. A second vehicle placement on the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0757X carries minimal order activity ($10,000 across one task order).
Activity has been episodic rather than growth-trajectory. The past five years show one award in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2024, four in 2025, and three in 2026 (through early September), reflecting sporadic procurement windows driven by facility-maintenance and repair cycles. Only two awards (combined potential value $272,000) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's total award footprint carries $21.9 million combined potential value across all 49 awards, with $20.9 million obligated (95% of potential), indicating that most opportunities have been executed or are committed. NAICS concentration runs across specialty trade contracting — All Other Specialty Trade Contractors (14 awards), Electrical Contractors (6 awards), and Security Systems Services (6 awards) — with PSC concentration in penal facility repair (9 awards), fencing and gates (7 awards), and penal facility maintenance (7 awards).
Service Contract Inventory data covering FY2024–FY2025 reports four SCI records (two as prime, two as subcontractor), but zero invoiced revenue on the prime records; SCI-reported FTE delivery shows 3.4 FTEs in FY2025 against 0 in FY2024, reflecting early-stage or below-threshold service-contract activity relative to the vendor's purchase-order and equipment-supply dominated footprint. SCI coverage is minimal relative to the total federal award picture, as the vendor's federal revenue derives primarily from goods, micro-purchases, and smaller repair orders that fall outside the $150,000 SCI reporting floor.
