Salvation Army

Salvation Army Palm Beach Area Command Division, a tax-exempt non-profit child entity of The Salvation Army, operates as a prime contractor delivering transitional housing, homeless services, and residential reentry center operations to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Justice, competing full-and-open across all federal work with no set-aside designations.

The vendor's federal footprint is dominated by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office, which accounts for 28 awards totaling $70.6 million in combined potential value (86% of the portfolio), while the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 holds 10 awards valued at $10.3 million. Customer concentration is extremely tight — two agencies represent 100% of recent awards across four federal funding entities. The Bureau of Prisons work centers on residential reentry center (RRC) operations in Palm Beach and Riviera Beach, Florida, serving formerly incarcerated individuals; the VA work focuses on emergency residential services and Comprehensive Evaluation and Residential Services (CERS) homeless sheltering and wraparound support for homeless veterans. Performance locations span West Palm Beach and Riviera Beach, Florida.

The vendor holds five active indefinite delivery contracts across both agencies. Under the Bureau of Prisons, Salvation Army operates IDCs 15BRRC19D00000107 (8 task orders, $13.8 million combined potential value), DJB200127 (11 task orders, $12.1 million), DJB200892 (4 task orders, $6.3 million), and DJB200892 (additional ordering). Under the VA, two single-award IDCs run through 2027: a $3.63 million Emergency Residential Services contract (September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027) with three delivery orders issued to date, and a $2.68 million CERS Homeless Services contract (October 24, 2022 through October 23, 2027) with approximately $2.2 million in cumulative delivery order obligations. Recent representative awards include a $362,160 firm fixed price delivery order from VA VISN 8 for emergency residential services (September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027), a $616,594 delivery order for CERS homeless services (October 24, 2025 through October 23, 2026), and a $1.99 million Bureau of Prisons RRC services delivery order for fiscal year 2023 (October 1, 2022 through December 18, 2022).

Activity has remained modest and relatively flat over the past five years — three awards in 2022 and 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only four awards (combined potential value $1.2 million) facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete. The vendor also holds a VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem program award (completion September 30, 2025) providing operational support for transitional housing beds.

SCI-reported invoicing across the federal services contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold totaled $10.6 million in the available fiscal-year span (FY2023–FY2025), with significant year-over-year volatility: $9.9 million across 73.8 FTEs in FY2023, declining to $212 thousand across 2.6 FTEs in FY2024, and rising to $519 thousand across 6.8 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable service contracts ran a median of $59.71/hr, with pricing spanning a 10th-percentile floor of $37.40/hr and a 90th-percentile ceiling of $74.03/hr. The vendor delivers all work through its own staff with zero subcontractor engagement across SCI-reportable prime contracts. Work is classified under NAICS 624221 (Other Residential Care Facilities) and 622212 (Temporary Shelters), with PSC codes primarily G004 (Social Rehabilitation) and related social services groupings.
