Oklahoma Department Of Corrections

Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC), headquartered at 3400 N Martin Luther King Ave in Oklahoma City, is a state government entity registered with the federal System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since November 2008. Through its operations, ODOC provides a range of goods and services to federal agencies, with a particular emphasis on supporting public health initiatives, vital statistics programs, emergency management, and social services delivery. The agency serves as either a prime recipient or sub-recipient of federal contracts and grants, leveraging its state infrastructure to advance federal public health and human services objectives across Oklahoma.

In terms of federal contract awards, ODOC has demonstrated capacity to provide essential goods and services through multiple federal agencies. Most notably, ODOC received a firm fixed-price purchase order from the Federal Bureau of Prisons for the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) El Reno to supply dairy, milk, and eggs valued at $22,620.00, with an award date of July 2, 2024 and completion date of September 24, 2024. This contract reflects ODOC's ability to provide food commodities to federal correctional facilities and represents a direct commercial relationship between a state corrections agency and the federal prison system. Additionally, ODOC serves as a parent organization to the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS), which holds several substantial federal contracts including a $1,644,700.70 purchase order from the Social Security Administration for enumeration at birth and race and ethnicity records services, and multiple CDC contracts totaling over $300,000 for vital statistics data collection and National Death Index operations. While ODOC itself was not listed as the direct prime contractor for these health-related awards, its structural relationship as parent organization positions it within the federal contracting ecosystem for these critical public health initiatives.

ODOC's federal grant portfolio reflects its role as a supporting entity within Oklahoma's broader social services and emergency management infrastructure. Though ODOC is not always listed as the primary grant recipient, the agency functions within a governance structure that encompasses major federal grant awards administered by partner state agencies. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services, which reports to ODOC as its parent organization, manages substantial federal grants exceeding $300 million collectively, including a $223.5 million Rural Health Transformation Program Cooperative Agreement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (awarded December 29, 2025), a $34.5 million Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Block Grant, and a $35.9 million Foster Care Title IV-E Block Grant. These grants support critical social services including child welfare, family support, nutrition assistance, child care, emergency management, and aging services across Oklahoma. ODOC participates indirectly in grant administration through its organizational structure, with various sub-awards flowing to community organizations, non-profits, and local entities for program implementation. Additionally, ODOC coordinates with the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management on federal disaster assistance grants, including Public Assistance grants from FEMA for response and recovery from presidentially-declared disasters, fire management assistance grants, and flood mitigation assistance projects.

ODOC does not hold any indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDV) contracts or federal contract vehicles based on the available award documentation. The agency's federal contracting activity is limited to specific purchase orders and delivery orders issued directly by federal agencies for discrete goods and services, rather than establishing broader umbrella agreements or task order vehicles. The organization's primary contracting engagement remains through its subsidiary relationship with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services and coordination with state agencies like the Department of Emergency Management, which serve as primary recipients of federal contract and grant awards. ODOC's federal engagement is therefore characterized as a supporting state entity that facilitates the delivery of federally-funded programs through its organizational structure and administrative capacity, rather than as an independent holder of standing contract vehicles or master agreements with federal agencies.
