Contract floor, population and ownership
A difference between a printed contract floor and a reported population is a difference in beds. It becomes money only where an auditor published a figure.
Contract floor and populationICE workbook data pull, 2026-07-20
The inspector general recommended reassessing the guaranteed minimum. A recommendation is not a calculation of questioned costs and does not establish a July 2026 payment amount.
Within 10% of the printed floor. A printed guaranteed minimum is a contract floor recorded in ICE's workbook. It is not the facility's physical or licensed capacity, and on its own it establishes no payment.
Golden State Annex at 611 Frontage Rd in McFarland, California is a dedicated contract detention facility that ICE prints in its fiscal 2026 workbook with an average daily population of 596.8 against a printed guaranteed minimum of 560, an average length of stay of 69.1 days, and an Office of Detention Oversight inspection ending January 30, 2025 under PBNDS 2011 - 2016 Revisions marked Pass. The current federal award, PIID 70CDCR26FR0000042, covers this facility and Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center together and allocates nothing between them, so no Golden State-only amount exists in the record. DHS OIG's April 19, 2024 inspection report, OIG-24-23, carries a recommendation to reassess housing requirements and the guaranteed minimum. Property ownership, the operating relationship outside the award record and the inspection report text are not established here.

Golden State Annex and Mesa Verde are two facilities on one award
Golden State Annex sits at 611 Frontage Rd in McFarland. Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center sits at 425 Golden State Avenue in Bakersfield. The street name and the shared federal award make the two easy to conflate; they are separate workbook rows with separate populations, separate inspections and separate identities. The shared award is recorded once and never apportioned between them.

Lanes are shown side by side because they share a facility and a calendar, not a cause. Chronological proximity does not establish causation.
Only dated events are plotted. Records carrying an as-of or dataset-cutoff date, such as ICE’s fiscal-year population aggregates, are listed in the table instead, because a data-pull date is not the date something happened.

Open research questions
These are the gaps the reviewed record set names. A question listed here is unanswered, not answered in the facility's favour, and this list does not claim to cover everything unknown about the facility.
No document allocating the shared award between the two facilities
Searched — nothing released
No contract document, modification or agency record dividing award 70CDCR26FR0000042 between Golden State Annex and Mesa Verde has been obtained, so no facility-level amount is published on either dossier. Locator: PIID 70CDCR26FR0000042.
Collection searched · August 21, 2026 · not an event date
What this does not establish
No allocation is estimated from bed counts, population, length of stay or any other proxy.
No owner or operator source outside the award record reviewed
Searched — nothing released
The award record names The GEO Group as recipient for detention services at this facility, and that role is published as a recipient role only. No filing, company facility disclosure, deed, lease or oversight statement establishing who owns the property or who operates the facility was reviewed for this dossier, and an operator or owner role is deliberately left unpublished rather than derived from the award. This project's older facility seed record previously carried an operator field naming The GEO Group whose only stated basis was that same award description; that assignment was removed on August 22, 2026, so no surface, filter or export in this project labels the site GEO-operated. Locator: PIID 70CDCR26FR0000042.

What this does not establish
That the recipient does not operate or own the facility, or that any other party does. The question is open, not answered.
No inspection report text indexed for the January 2025 inspection

The workbook prints the inspection type, end date, standard and final rating. The report itself was not indexed, so no finding, deficiency, recommendation count or corrective-action status is published for it. Locator: ICE FY2026 workbook inspection fields.
