The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army Texas Division, operating as Salvation Army, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants and a prime contractor delivering transitional housing and supportive services for homeless veterans and individuals experiencing housing instability, with 85% of recent awards in a prime capacity.

The organization is headquartered in Texas and operates as a domestic shelter and nonprofit service provider. Its federal work concentrates heavily in two customer agencies: the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 (VISN 17) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. These two agencies account for 40% of awards by count and 86% of combined potential value across the vendor's 113 recent awards. VISN 17 holds 23 awards valued at $3.3 million combined potential value, while HUD's Community Planning and Development office accounts for 22 awards. The organization's capability portfolio centers on permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, emergency shelter, case management, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) infrastructure, all delivered in the Corpus Christi, Texas area.

Salvation Army Texas Division holds multiple parent vehicles anchoring its federal work. The largest by task-order volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract V671P3945 (39 task orders, $458 thousand combined potential value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract VA257P0229 (24 task orders, $211 thousand combined potential value), both with VISN 17. Two additional IDCs with HUD (36C25719D0002 and 36C25724D0002) carry smaller combined potential values. The organization's VA contract work includes a single-award IDC with VISN 17 valued at $1.391 million (through September 30, 2026), which has generated two delivery orders: a base-year delivery order for $127,920 (October 2023 through September 2025) and a follow-on delivery order for $132,060 (October 2024 through September 2025), both firm fixed-price and without set-aside designation, supporting a 10-bed transitional housing program for homeless veterans.

On the grant side, Salvation Army Texas Division receives recurring awards under HUD's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). Recent Project Grant awards include $374,004 (September 2025 through August 2026), $193,173 (December 2025 through November 2026), and $345,742 (September 2024 through August 2025). The organization also receives grant sub-awards supporting rapid rehousing, emergency shelter, homeless prevention, and facility hardening; recent sub-awards from June 2025 and April 2025 target rapid rehousing assistance, while a January 2025 sub-award from DHS/FEMA funds security upgrades and facility repairs for this nonprofit organization identified as at high risk of terrorist attack.

Activity has remained flat over the past five years (four to six awards per year from 2021 through 2025). Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. The parent entity, The Salvation Army (UEI: SJMZL35SLZJ5), holds broader federal contract and grant positions across multiple divisions.
