NAICS 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing) encompasses the production and processing of fresh, prepared food products with a focus on perishable items. This category includes manufacturers who create ready-to-eat meals, fresh-cut produce, prepared sandwiches, and other temperature-sensitive food items. The products are typically designed for immediate or short-term consumption and require specialized handling, packaging, and distribution to maintain quality and safety. Federal contract awards in this NAICS code predominantly target food service operations for federal institutions, particularly correctional facilities, military installations, and veterans' healthcare systems. The awards frequently range from $10,000 to $250,000, with contract periods typically spanning one quarter to one year. Commonly awarded vendors include small businesses like Pueblo Trading Co Inc., Shaver Foods LLC, and Class Produce Group LLC. Most awards are total small business set-asides, with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons and Department of Veterans Affairs being the most frequent contracting agencies. Delivery locations are predominantly federal facilities across the United States, with a concentration in the Eastern and Midwestern regions. Recent federal contract opportunities in this NAICS code focus on solicitations for fresh produce, prepared meals, and specialized dietary food products. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support has multiple ongoing solicitations for fresh fruits and vegetables for school and military customers in various states. The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking sandwich and produce providers for healthcare systems in locations like Los Angeles and San Diego. The U.S. Army and Department of Justice are requesting boxed meals and subsistence items for military entrance processing stations and correctional facilities. These opportunities consistently emphasize small business participation, food safety certifications, and strict delivery and temperature control requirements.
