The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army Texas Division, operating as Salvation Army, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization providing transitional housing and comprehensive supportive services for homeless veterans and victims of family violence to the federal government as a prime contractor (80% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on state and local grants. The organization holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 valued at $4.39 million through March 2027, under which it operates with no set-aside designation and delivers services without subcontractors.

Customer concentration is acute and intentional. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 dominates both award count and dollar value, representing 17 awards totaling $26.2 million combined potential value (94% of the portfolio's combined potential value). The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime and the VA's Under Secretary for Health account for the remaining 39% of award count but a negligible share of dollars. This concentration reflects The Salvation Army Texas Division's core federal mission: operating transitional housing facilities for chronically homeless veterans in the Dallas area with temporary housing, meals, counseling, job training, transportation, and wraparound services designed to achieve veteran stability and self-sufficiency under Executive Order 14398.

The VISN 17 single-award IDIQ (contract 36C25718D0038), awarded April 1, 2023, structures performance as a base year plus three option years. Recent delivery orders include the base year valued at $734,061 (April 2023–March 2024), Option Year 1 at $660,395 (April 2024–March 2025), Option Year 2 at $876,569 (April 2025–March 2026), and Option Year 3 at $902,849 (April 2026–March 2027). Seven additional delivery orders under this IDIQ carry combined potential value of $10.4 million. Four other VA IDIQs (V549P5535, V549P5789, V549P6988, 36C25723D0034) account for an additional $5.0 million in combined potential value across 27 task orders.

Award activity has declined from two awards in 2022 to one in each of 2025 and 2026, reflecting the stability of the single large VISN 17 IDIQ and its structured option-year exercises rather than new competitive wins. Only one award (combined potential value $903 thousand) faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete pressure. The Salvation Army's SCI-reportable service-contract invoicing shows $1.4 million across FY2024 with 31.3 FTEs, covering federal services above the $150,000 threshold. Government-paid hourly rates run around a median of $21.52/hour, with rates spanning $20.11/hour at the tenth percentile to $22.93/hour at the ninetieth percentile — consistent with transitional housing and support-services labor. The organization delivers 100% of contract work in-house; SCI data shows zero sub-hours share across prime contracts.

Beyond federal contracts, The Salvation Army Texas Division receives grant funding and sub-awards from federal programs flowing through state and local governments. A federal grant from the VA's Under Secretary for Health awarded August 28, 2023 (completion September 30, 2025) supports operational costs for transitional housing beds. The organization also acts as sub-recipient on grants from the Governor of Texas Office and the City of Pharr, delivering victim services (family violence and sex trafficking support via crisis services, legal advocacy, therapy, and shelter) and emergency shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness. Six named grant sub-awards span October 2021 through October 2024, including a recurring Victim Services Program in Dallas County and COVID-isolation hotel-room support issued October 2022.

Work is performed in Dallas, Texas, with the parent entity The Salvation Army operating as the nationwide nonprofit organization. The Texas Division's federal award portfolio concentrates in NAICS 624110 (Services for the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities, 30 awards) and 624230 (Temporary Shelters, 13 awards), with PSC coding dominated by Medical—Other and Social—Social Rehabilitation. The organization competes without set-asides, securing awards through full-and-open competition on the strength of demonstrated capability in homeless-veteran and victim-services delivery within the Dallas region.
