Purchase Order SPE3SE26P0302

The U.S. Department of Defense Subsistence program awarded a purchase order valued at $12,123.39 to Pueblo Hotel Supply Co (doing business as Gradys Food Service Equipment & Supplies) on January 20, 2026, for a food mixing machine. This Total Small Business set-aside contract, with a completion date of February 19, 2026, will be performed in Pueblo, Colorado. Pueblo Hotel Supply Co is a woman-owned small disadvantaged business specializing in commercial kitchen equipment and food service supplies for federal government agencies. The award represents a task order under the company's larger Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Department's Subsistence program, a $250 million vehicle established in September 2025 that streamlines procurement of stainless steel utensils, kitchen implements, and food service equipment for military dining facilities and civilian federal agency food service operations.

The Subsistence program leverages small business set-aside procurement vehicles to source reliable kitchen equipment suppliers capable of supporting federal food service operations. Pueblo Hotel Supply Co's established track record delivering corrosion-resistant stainless steel kitchen equipment—including ice cream scoops, serving tongs, ladles, colanders, and related items manufactured in compliance with federal standards—positions the company to efficiently fulfill routine resupply needs across Defense Department food service operations. The firm's registration in the System for Award Management since 2002 and multiple federal certifications demonstrate sustained capability to support military and civilian subsistence program requirements through streamlined acquisition mechanisms.
