The GEO Group, Inc.

The GEO Group, Inc., doing business as GEO, is a for-profit correctional and detention services provider headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, that operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) delivering detention facility management, prisoner and detainee transportation, medical services, and residential reentry programs to federal law enforcement and immigration agencies on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations.

GEO's federal footprint centers on detention operations and institutional care delivered through a network of owned and operated facilities. The company's core capability portfolio spans detention facility operations and management (housing, security, food service, medical care), detainee and prisoner transportation services (ground and air), electronic monitoring and home confinement supervision, and residential reentry center programming. Representative recent awards include a $528.7 million single-award IDIQ with Immigration and Customs Enforcement for detention and detention-related services at the Big Horn Facility in Hudson, Colorado, extending through July 2031; a $531.2 million delivery order from the US Marshals Service Prisoner Operations Division for detention services at Western Region Detention Facility through October 2026; a $788.7 million single-award IDIQ with ICE for comprehensive detention, transportation, and medical services at Delaney Hall Contract Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey, extending through February 2035; and a $482.4 million IDIQ with ICE for detention, transportation, and medical services at the Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora, Colorado. GEO also holds a $55 billion multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract (WEXMAC 2.2) awarded by Naval Supply Systems Command in February 2026 for worldwide expeditionary logistics, life support, military exercises, and humanitarian assistance missions available to all federal agencies through December 2029.

Customer concentration is extreme and stable across ICE and Bureau of Prisons. ICE dominates the award count at 221 awards (49% of the 454-award prime portfolio) representing $15.8 billion in combined potential value across detention facility operations nationwide; the Bureau of Prisons Central Office accounts for 114 awards and $6.03 billion combined potential value; the Department of Homeland Security Chief Procurement Officer accounts for 48 awards and $2.66 billion; and the US Marshals Service Prisoner Operations Division accounts for 13 awards and $2.64 billion. These four customers represent 90% of all awards by count and anchor $27.1 billion of the combined portfolio's $84.63 billion potential value. The Navy's WEXMAC 2.2 vehicle contributes an additional $55 billion in potential value (placeholder ceiling structure), shifting the top-customer-by-dollars ranking to lead with Naval Supply Systems Command, but that vehicle remains nascent with only one award to GEO recorded in the source. The concentration across detention and corrections agencies is structural to GEO's business model and reflects the company's specialization; no diversification into other federal sectors is evident in the award history.

GEO's vehicle position centers on multiple long-term single-award IDIQs with ICE and Bureau of Prisons, supplemented by blanket purchase agreements. Active single-award IDIQs include the $788.7 million Delaney Hall IDIQ (March 2025 through February 2035), the $528.7 million Big Horn IDIQ (July 2026 through July 2031), the $482.4 million Denver Aurora IDIQ (October 2021 through October 2026, with optional extensions), the $458.8 million comprehensive detention services IDIQ (August 2026 through July 2027), and the $223.7 million North Lake Detention Facility IDIQ (March 2025 through July 2027). Top parent vehicles by task-order count include Indefinite Delivery Contract DJB1PC013 (22 task orders, $631.9 million), DJB200183 (18 task orders, $14.9 million), DJB200149 (14 task orders, $22.1 million), HSCEDM14A00001 BPA (13 task orders, $73.1 million), and DJB200242 (12 task orders, $27.5 million). These vehicles are restricted to GEO by design — they are single-award IDIQs for facility-specific detention operations — and do not expose GEO to routine recompete against other full-and-open contractors on an annual basis. Instead, GEO's recompete risk is tied to facility-level contract wins and renewals with ICE and Bureau of Prisons, typically multi-year agreements with extension options.

Activity has remained stable year over year, averaging roughly 14 awards annually from 2022 through 2026 (13, 12, 15, 16, 15 awards respectively), with 17 awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and carrying combined potential value of $1.74 billion. This recompete window is modest relative to the overall portfolio ($84.63 billion potential value) and reflects the company's entrenched position on long-duration facility-specific IDIQs. Most awards in the recompete window are closeout or de-obligation modifications rather than new contract procurements, indicating stable facility operations rather than competitive pressure.

Service Contract Inventory reporting captures $1.94 billion in invoiced federal service-contract revenue across FY2022 through FY2025. SCI-reportable invoicing by fiscal year shows $432.3 million in FY2022 (5,039 FTEs), $428.5 million in FY2023 (2,227 FTEs), $513.4 million in FY2024 (3,996 FTEs), and $570.4 million in FY2025 (6,816 FTEs), reflecting volatility in detention bed occupancy and associated staffing scale. Government-paid hourly rates span a wide range reflecting GEO's operational mix: the 10th percentile stands at $13.44 per hour (entry-level facility housekeeping and guard roles), the median at $79.71 per hour (mid-tier security and operations positions), and the 90th percentile at $138.34 per hour (specialized roles including medical staff, case workers, and transportation specialists). GEO self-performs all reported SCI labor with zero subcontractor hours across its prime contracts — the company operates detention facilities and transportation services entirely in-house through its workforce and internal subsidiaries.

GEO's corporate structure includes thirteen named subsidiaries providing specialized capabilities within the detention and reentry ecosystem: GEO Transport, Inc. (dedicated prisoner and detainee transportation), GEO Care Services, LLC (medical and care services), GEO Reentry Inc. (residential reentry center programming), Community Education Centers, Inc. (programming and community services), Correct Care, LLC (medical services), and others. These subsidiaries enable GEO to deliver comprehensive facility management and transportation services as integrated operations without relying on external subcontractors, reinforcing the company's vertical integration across federal detention services.
