About Working Alternatives, Inc.
Working Alternatives, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in San Diego, California, operates as a prime contractor providing residential reentry center and home confinement services to federal inmates and probationers under single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office. The vendor competes in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements exclusively and performs all work directly without subcontractors.
Working Alternatives delivers concrete correctional and reentry programming: residential transitional housing, counseling, job placement assistance, substance abuse treatment, and electronic monitoring for home detention oversight at facilities across California and Arizona. Recent representative awards include a $1.6 million delivery order issued March 1, 2026, for residential reentry center services in the Garden Grove area through February 28, 2027; a $1.79 million delivery order issued November 1, 2025, for residential reentry and home confinement services at the Flagstaff, Arizona facility through September 30, 2026; and a $2.0 million delivery order issued October 1, 2025, for residential reentry services in Brawley, California through September 30, 2026. All are firm fixed-price orders carrying no set-aside designation.
Customer concentration is acute. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office accounts for 76 of 110 total awards (92% of award count) and $292.3 million of the combined $312.4 million potential value across the vendor's footprint (94% of dollars). Immigration and Customs Enforcement represents 22 awards with unspecified dollar magnitude; the remaining Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons entity accounts for 3 awards. The vendor has worked exclusively with these three federal agencies across its award history since 1989.
Working Alternatives holds five active single-award IDIQ contracts with the Bureau of Prisons. The largest, contract 15BRRC19D00000209 (Garden Grove, California), supports 12 task orders worth $20.6 million combined potential value. Contract 15BRRC19D00000210 (Brawley, California) carries 8 task orders valued at $23.8 million. Contract 15BRRC19D00000006 (San Diego/CPH location) supports 16 task orders worth $18.2 million. Contracts DJB200098 and DJB200093 support 11 and 6 task orders respectively, worth $11.9 million and $17.3 million combined. A new single-award IDIQ awarded March 1, 2025, for Garden Grove services carries a $25.1 million ceiling extending through February 28, 2027, with three delivery orders totaling $5.3 million obligated to date.
Activity has held steady at four to five awards annually across 2022–2025, with one award in 2026 to date. The vendor faces modest recompete exposure: three awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $5.4 million. The source characterizes the vendor's combined federal contract awards at over $65 million since 2020, with total combined potential value of $312.4 million across 110 awards in the full historical footprint. No grants, no subcontract work, and no involvement with GWACs or GSA schedules appear in the award history.
