Federal Bureau of Prisons's contract dollars, traced to the source.
Federal Bureau of Prisons · Department of Justice
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), a component of the Department of Justice, operates the federal prison system, housing incarcerated individuals and running the facilities, security, and inmate services that go with it. Its ~$2.05B in FY2025 contract dollars are dominated by correctional facility construction and infrastructure — led by a $465M design-build contract for FCI Leavenworth — alongside energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) to retrofit institutions like Butner, Ashland, and Lexington, plus land mobile radio (LMR) and other security systems maintenance. The top awards skew heavily toward building and modernizing physical prison plant rather than IT or professional services.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Federal Prison System / Bureau of Prisons awarding sub-agency. It shows where BOP's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. Figures reflect the contract (procurement) slice from USAspending, not BOP's total budget authority or appropriations. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Justice monitor.
