The Trump administration just awarded Virginia-based Acquisition Logistics a $1.26 billion contract to operate a 5,000-bed tent camp on Fort Bliss in El Paso. The company previously got just $29 million in DOD logistics contracts over 5 years; now it'll run the largest detention camp in the US.
The Fort Bliss contract is by far the biggest ever for Acquisition Logistics, which Wagner, a retired Naval flight officer, founded in 2008. It specializes in supply chain management and other technical services, particularly for the US military, according to Wagner’s LinkedIn profile. Acquisition Logistics has received contracts worth roughly $29 million from the Defense Department over the past five fiscal years, mainly for logistics support work, according to government records. Most of that was through set-asides for small businesses.

The company doesn’t appear to have any experience with detention, but earlier this year the US Army paid Acquisition Logistics more than $5 million for “lodging and conference room services” related to the agency’s work at the Southern Border under the Trump administration.
