About the company
Southern Careers Institute Inc., a for-profit private educational institution based in Austin, Texas, delivers vocational cosmetology training to the federal correctional system as a prime contractor under full and open competition with no set-aside designation. The vendor operates a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, issued June 1, 2024, with a $1 million ceiling and performance through May 31, 2029, authorizing cosmetology program instruction at Federal Prison Camp Bryan, Texas.
Southern Careers Institute's federal footprint is concentrated and narrow. The vendor has received seven total awards across two customer agencies: four awards (combined potential value $1.6 million) from the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Beckley under the cosmetology training IDC, and three awards from the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education (dollar value not specified in the source). All seven awards are prime contracts or grants; the vendor has no subcontract work. The Bureau of Prisons relationship accounts for 100% of the identifiable contract potential value. Three delivery orders have been issued under the Bureau of Prisons IDC: a $200,000 firm fixed price order awarded June 1, 2024 (performance through September 30, 2024); a $200,000 order awarded June 1, 2025 (performance through May 30, 2026); and a $200,000 order awarded June 1, 2026 (performance through May 31, 2027). Each delivery order funds full tuition instruction for approximately 25 student sessions annually in cosmetology, with courses offered five days weekly for three hours per session between 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. or 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., excluding federal holidays. Students pursue college certificates, industry-recognized certifications, or transferable credits.
Activity is minimal and episodic. The vendor received two awards in 2020, one in 2021, two in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $10 million, representing 623% of combined potential value — a signal that the source's potential-value figures understate actual performance or that Department of Education grants carry substantial dollar volume not captured in the contract line-item ceilings. One award (combined potential value $200,000) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and faces recompete. The vendor holds no seats on government-wide vehicles or multi-agency BPAs; work flows exclusively through the single-award Bureau of Prisons IDC and Department of Education grant mechanisms. Place of performance for all contract work is Bryan, Texas.
