The cumulative potential value of the delivery orders exceeds $4.9 million, with performance primarily taking place in the Cincinnati, Ohio area under the Subsistence Prime Vendor program and other indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicles managed by DLA.

Baxters North America, Inc., doing business as The Wornick Company, has also been awarded an indefinite delivery contract by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) valued up to $220 million to supply large quantities of meals, including reduced sodium, survivor daily rations and commercial meals, to FEMA warehouses for distribution during emergency response situations. The DLA delivery orders do not utilize any small business set-aside designations, reflecting Baxters North America, Inc.'s status as a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer serving as a prime contractor to support the subsistence needs of the U.S. military and federal disaster relief efforts.
