ModCorr modular prison buildings: GSFIC's five contracts, payments to July 2026, and how ModCorr was selected
GPS asked the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) for its records on modular correctional buildings supplied by ModCorr LLC to Georgia Department of Corrections prisons. GSFIC released its five Design-Build-Install agreements with ModCorr: GDC-171A to 171D, dated April 25, 2025, each $20,173,811 for two 63-bed MaxMod housing units at Hays, Lee, Montgomery and Dodge State Prisons, and GDC-172, dated June 4, 2025, $4,890,000 for a medically intensive infirmary at Johnson State Prison. Its payments spreadsheet lists 42 paid ModCorr invoices totaling $89,762,212.23, received from June 27, 2025 to July 28, 2026; the five contracts total $85,585,244. GSFIC said it did not conduct the procurement behind Georgia Procurement Registry event 46700-GDC0001150, and its procurement summary says GSFIC reviewed the two responses to the Department of Corrections' request for information, from Aries and ModCorr, and recommended a direct purchase from ModCorr.
Status: GSFIC released the contracts and the budget act on September 2, 2026, the payments spreadsheet on September 11 and the procurement summary on September 17. For item 3 it said it holds no records of the registry event because it did not run that procurement. GPS later asked for change orders to the five agreements, then declined GSFIC's $100 estimate for them and closed the request on September 22, 2026.

What happened
| August 28, 2026 | Request filed by email to GSFIC. |
| September 2, 2026 | GSFIC released the five executed ModCorr agreements and the Amended FY2025 budget act (HB 67), saying projects GDC-171A to 171D were funded by HB 67, Item 968, and GDC-172 by the FY2026 budget (HB 68, line item 380.46). It said it did not conduct the registry procurement and estimated $105 to retrieve the remaining documents. |
| September 2, 2026 | GPS approved the $105 estimate. |
| September 11, 2026 | GSFIC sent a spreadsheet of all payments to ModCorr and offered the individual payment applications for the $105. GPS took the spreadsheet in their place, so no fee was incurred. |
| September 13, 2026 | GPS asked for any change orders or amendments to the five agreements. |
| September 16, 2026 | GPS asked for GSFIC's records showing how ModCorr was selected for the five projects. |
| September 17, 2026 | GSFIC released a two-page procurement summary, "Note for Selection of Modular Units." |
| September 22, 2026 | GSFIC estimated $100 to retrieve the change-order records. GPS declined the same day and closed the request. |
Cost
$0.00: No fee charged. GSFIC estimated $105 to pull the individual payment applications; GPS took the free payments spreadsheet instead. A later $100 estimate for change-order records was declined.
