Volunteers Of America Chesapeake Inc.

Volunteers Of America Chesapeake Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Lanham, Maryland, operates as a prime recipient for federal grants and a prime contractor delivering residential reentry and home confinement services to the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, along with housing support and behavioral health services to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The organization competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its contract and grant portfolios.

The vendor's federal footprint concentrates heavily in criminal justice reentry and veteran housing support. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office dominates both award count and dollar share, accounting for 30 awards worth $254.7 million in combined potential value — roughly 87% of all federal dollars tracked in the source. Within that concentration, Volunteers of America Chesapeake delivers residential reentry center (RRC) and home confinement services in Baltimore, Maryland and Baltimore County under firm fixed-price delivery orders exercised against two primary IDCs: IDC 15BRRC19D00000019 (13 task orders, $124.7 million) and IDC DJB200934 (13 task orders, $30.2 million). Recent BOP work includes a $2,981,536 delivery order issued June 1, 2026, for RRC and home confinement services through September 30, 2026 (Option Year 6), and a $5,677,275 delivery order from October 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026. The organization's BOP contract awards span option years extending back to 2021, with ceiling values typically ranging from $2.3 million to $7.7 million per option year.

Beyond BOP work, Volunteers of America Chesapeake operates as a grant recipient across three federal agencies. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration has awarded 14 grants under the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033), the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055), and related veteran support initiatives. Recent VA grants include a $2.1 million SSVF award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, and a $750,000 suicide prevention grant for the same period. The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development has issued 24 awards supporting Continuum of Care (CoC) Program activities (CFDA 14.267) and homeless prevention services. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment and Center for Mental Health Services have funded behavioral health expansion work, including a five-year DC Medication Assisted Treatment Program for opioid use disorder (award date September 30, 2021, through September 29, 2026) and a four-year Certified Community Behavioral Health Center advancement grant for Prince George's County, Maryland (award date September 30, 2023, through September 29, 2027). The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration awarded a YouthBuild II grant (award date June 1, 2023, through September 30, 2026) supporting 65 youth aged 16–24 in construction and green-building career pathways across Newport News, Portsmouth, and Hampton Roads, Virginia.

Primary NAICS concentration reflects the reentry and behavioral health service mix: Other Residential Care Facilities (40 awards) and Other Community Housing Services (4 awards) dominate the NAICS distribution. Top PSC category is Social–Social Rehabilitation (48 awards). The vendor holds 108 of 111 tracked awards as prime (97%), with only 3 grant sub-awards from the District of Columbia government for peer-operated centers and harm-reduction mobile services. Activity has remained steady at 7–11 awards per year over the past five years, though the source captures only one award in 2026 to date. Eight awards worth $3 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure concentrated in VA and HUD grant renewals rather than BOP delivery orders, which typically carry multi-year option-year structures with completion dates extending well beyond 2027.
