NW Iowa Yes Center

NW Iowa Yes Center, a county council of governments based in Cherokee, Iowa, provides juvenile detention and incarceration services to the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Great Plains Region as a single-source prime contractor under indefinite delivery contracts, with all thirteen recent awards supporting tribal justice services across the Great Plains.

NW Iowa Yes Center is a U.S. local government entity registered as a county council of governments with a SAM.gov footprint dating to February 2014. The organization operates under NAICS 311000 (Correctional Institutions) and PSC Housekeeping–Guard, delivering juvenile detention bed space, incarceration services, and youth education programming. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its entire award portfolio.

The vendor's customer base is narrowly concentrated — all thirteen recent awards (combined potential value $2.3 million) flow from a single customer, the Bureau of Indian Affairs Great Plains Region's Office of Justice Services, District I. This extreme concentration reflects both the specialized nature of the service (juvenile detention capacity serving BIA tribal justice systems) and the vendor's established role as the primary provider for this specific mission in the region. Combined dollars obligated total $938 thousand (41% of potential value), indicating ongoing performance and obligation against the contract ceiling.

NW Iowa Yes Center holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with BIA Great Plains. The primary vehicle, IDC 140A0119D0005 (ceiling $534,750, performance through December 2028, awarded January 2024), has generated seven task orders totaling $360 thousand in combined potential value. The second vehicle, IDC 140A0124D0004, carries two task orders valued at $145 thousand combined. Recent representative delivery orders include a $459,200 firm fixed-price award for juvenile detention services effective through January 31, 2031 (January 2026), a $77,600 delivery order for juvenile bed space (February 2025), and a $67,200 task order for base-year detention services (February 2024). The vendor performs all work in Cherokee, Iowa, with no identified subcontractors across the award history.

The vendor's activity trajectory remains modest and flat — two awards in 2021, two in 2022, two in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — reflecting steady-state task order issuance under established IDC vehicles rather than new-customer acquisition or contract wins. No recompete cliff appears imminent; the primary IDC runs through December 2028.
