Western Alternative Corrections, Inc.

Western Alternative Corrections, Inc., doing business as Western Alternative Correction, is a Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Hastings, Nebraska, that delivers substance use disorder treatment, mental health counseling, medication-assisted treatment, sex offender treatment, and related behavioral health services to the federal corrections system as a prime contractor (100% of awards). The vendor operates exclusively through delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, competing on both full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside bases across a portfolio of ten active single-award IDIQs valued at approximately $34.4 million collectively through January 2030.

Western Alternative Corrections' customer footprint is concentrated almost entirely within DOJ. The Bureau of Prisons Central Office accounts for 203 of 208 tracked awards (97% of volume) with $104.9 million in combined potential value; the Bureau's North Central Regional Office adds five awards valued at $434 thousand. This concentration reflects the vendor's role as the Bureau's primary community-based outpatient treatment provider across a fourteen-location nationwide network spanning Anchorage, Boise, Boulder, Denver, Flagstaff, Las Cruces, Omaha, Oklahoma City, Sioux Falls, Topeka, Tucson, Wichita, Bowling Green, and Kearney. Representative delivery orders include a $970,975 order for outpatient substance use disorder and mental health services in Little Rock (February 2026, Total Small Business set-aside), a $1,070,097 order for substance use, mental health, and sex offender treatment in Columbus, Ohio (October 2025, Total Small Business), and a $1,130,633.91 order for community treatment services in Omaha, Nebraska (October 2025, full-and-open). Delivery order values typically range from approximately $6,830 to $1.1 million, with the vendor issuing task orders monthly or quarterly against parent contracts.

The vendor's ten IDIQ vehicles anchor its business model. The five largest by combined potential value across active task orders are the Denver contract ($5.46 million ceiling, Total Small Business set-aside, July 2022–June 2028), the Little Rock contract ($8.9 million ceiling, Total Small Business set-aside, January 2026–January 2031), the Sioux Falls contract ($4.67 million ceiling, Total Small Business set-aside, September 2025–December 2030), the Topeka contract ($2.43 million ceiling, full-and-open, March 2022–September 2026), and the Las Cruces contract ($330 thousand ceiling, Total Small Business set-aside, March 2023–February 2028). Each IDIQ is structured as firm fixed-price with guaranteed minimums and estimated maximums across service categories. The Anchorage contract ($3.07 million ceiling, Total Small Business, December 2021–November 2026), the Boise contract ($3.63 million ceiling, full-and-open, November 2021–October 2026), the Tucson contract ($794 thousand ceiling, full-and-open, November 2022–October 2027), and the Bowling Green contract ($2.61 million ceiling, full-and-open, October 2021–September 2026) complete the primary vehicle set.

Activity has grown modestly, from 26 awards in 2022 to 34 in 2025, with 11 awards in 2026 year-to-date. Eleven awards valued at $7.2 million collectively face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. Service delivery occurs across CONUS locations with administrative oversight at the vendor's Hastings headquarters. The vendor characterizes itself as a provider of community-based outpatient treatment programming addressing critical substance use, mental health, and sex offender treatment needs within the federal corrections system, supporting inmate rehabilitation and successful community reentry. All work is performed as prime contractor; no subcontractor relationships are identified in the source material.
